Keep in mind that most Wall Street jobs require significant people skills to function effectively. There are some exceptions ("quant" roles, some trading jobs, etc favor math nerds), but for the most part doing the job requires a good blend of book smarts and people skills so you can effectively interact with clients. This is especially true for people who work in Asset Management roles which tend to be intensive on phone skills and presentation skills.
Most of those guys have both a significant amount of cash and because of those work demands enough social skills to make it work(although rarely outstanding social skills)
I get the feeling that dudes at WSP are not handing clients much less landing them. So the social skills are lacking, as well as the real world experience.
