Why Wall Street Is Recruiting Poker Players

Why Wall Street Is Recruiting Poker Players | MintLife Blog | Personal Finance News & Advice

"Since the 1980’s, Wall Street has offered some of the most highly coveted jobs in the country. And historically, there have been only three ways to get in: knowing an insider, having a top-flight degree or serious business experience.
Increasingly, though, Wall Street firms are looking for employees with different qualifications: specifically, poker skills. Unlike connections or degrees (which are seldom predictive of job performance), poker skills demonstrate an authentic ability to think and act intelligently under pressure."

I've come across numerous Craigslist ads offering jobs in the financial sector and targeting poker players.
