Dear Investment Banking Why do you have to be so difficult? I spend hours and hours Days and days And weeks and weeks Searching every nook and corner For some really good resumes Which are as easy to find As a drop of water In the Thar desert I speak to dozens and dozens of people Some are not looking for jobs Some politely decline Upon hearing the name of the client Some need time to think And others don't even bother to respond It's a cruel world indeed
Dear Investment Banking Why do you have to be so difficult? After a lot of frustration and heartburn And helplessness and desperation in turn I finally manage to find a good candidate Who also happens to be interested However, as expected, there is a catch He hasn't updated his resume And by the time he does it We would have already lost the client Thus, I have no choice But to move on And resume the search Which is already looking tougher Than clearing the IIT-JEE! Dear Investment Banking Why do you have to be so difficult?
