So I worked at Solomon Smith Barney and then leveraged that to get a job ultimately at McKinsey and went from there.
Grant StierwaltHOST
You brush right by it, but in case anyone missed that, here you were 20 years old, an intern, working with the head of Citi.

How do you create opportunities like that?

He got me a summer job, and I stayed three summers.
Steve BernsteinGUEST
And then 1983, I started full-time.
Michael HowellGUEST
The other thing that is an interesting corollary of the recent policy responses is that interest rates have also been slashed.
Michael HowellGUEST
And when I was in Salomon Brothers, one of the books they always got us to read was a book which is a great cure for insomnia, which is called A History of Interest Rates by Sidney Homer, which goes back 5,000 years and tracks the history of interest rates through Greek and Roman civilizations and whatever else.
Michael HowellGUEST
And nowhere in those pages is there any reference to zero, ultra low, or even negative interest rates.
Michael HowellGUEST
So what we've been through over the last few years, the last five years, has been completely unprecedented.
Rex KimGUEST
And this is one of those very fortunate moments.
Rex KimGUEST
One of my good friends in college, he had gotten a job with Salomon Brothers in banking.

Rex KimGUEST
He invited me out.
Rex KimGUEST
He actually was able to get me some interviews at Salomon Brothers.
Rex KimGUEST
So that's what I did.
Rex KimGUEST
And I spent an entire day there.
Rex KimGUEST
And I still remember this.
David KellyHOST
Well, yes.
David KellyHOST
So long-term capital management was founded by John Merriweather, who's a sort of alumni of Salomon Brothers.
David KellyHOST
He'd been involved in bond trading in their fixed income desks.
David KellyHOST
And in the early 1990s, he set up, he sort of left Salomon Brothers in a bit of a cloud, but he set up long-term capital management.
David KellyHOST
And he got a lot of people interested in it.
David KellyHOST
They actually started out with a billion dollars in capital, which is a lot.
Johannes HuthGUEST
And coming out of University of Chicago in the mid-80s, the sort of cool thing to do was to go into investment banking.
Johannes HuthGUEST
I did not have a very clear view of where my career would lead to and almost by accident decided to go and join Salomon Brothers in New York and work in the mergers and acquisitions group.
Johannes HuthGUEST
And that's really how I got into finance and very much enjoyed that work.
Johannes HuthGUEST
Salomon then sent me to London, where I was part of a small group, again, setting up an M&A team at Salomon Brothers in London in the sort of later 80s.
Johannes HuthGUEST
And again, a lot of fun there.
Johannes HuthGUEST
To just re-emphasize that I didn't have a grand plan to make it into private equity, I got a call out of the blue from a headhunter looking for somebody to effectively go on the buy side.
Phyllis HollisGUEST
I loved my time in finance.
Phyllis HollisGUEST
I was working at Salomon Brothers at the time, and it was definitely the wild, wild west.
Phyllis HollisGUEST
It was institutional sales and trading.
Phyllis HollisGUEST
I worked with a lot of privileged trust fund babies.
