I went yesterday to a Singapore jobs faire and the attendance numbers were very telling. They expected 300 people and circa 800 people showed up at the Marriot Marquis conference room in midtown! I met some ex Lehman Bros and some ex Bear Stearns employees, and some other recent graduates. What was interesting that the night before I went to party in meatpacking district, and at midnight on Friday I have never seen a more desolate place in NYC! Almost as if all the happy wall street people got religion all of a sudden and were updating their resumes instead of partying. So to put a positive spin on things I would say there is structural shift on Wall Street. People socialize more during the day!
