|
Keynes:
Those who follow the financial markets have plenty of reason to be optimistic. Share prices, credit spreads and company balance sheets have all improved.

The Price of Small Company Management Informality 23 Jun 2009
|
Jane Sandhurst:
Being in-house accountant for a small company has given me the flexibility to start setting up my own business. I work three days a week, close to home, giving me two days a week to work on my business whilst keeping the benefit of a regular income. The informality which leads to this flexibility also has its price. Two months ago, my boss (the...

#1 Reason to be Happy: The Joy of Exiting an Especially Tough Recession 23 Jun 2009
|
NY Wang:
This recession will probably be longer and be slower to recover than all the other recessions in the past 50 years. Despite widespread pessimism this is actually good news. This recession is especially painful for two reasons: it related to a financial crisis and it is synchronised across many different countries. The recovery of a financial...

Madness? £60,000 Banking Salary Traded-In for a Start-Up Hedge Fund 03 Jun 2009
|
Jung:
Unlike many, back in 2008 my MBA classmate won an Associate job offer with the Investment Banking Division of an American bulge bracket bank. He accepted and started in their London office. After 4 months I expected him to be delighted to be still so gainfully employed. After all, jobs were (and are) so hard to find and other big banks were going...

Are You Over-Networked? 23 Apr 2009
|
Sully:
In the job hunting world, networking is treated like the cure-all to job searching problems. Here are some of the "statistics" on networking I found: 90% of jobs are not advertised. 65% to 90% of jobs are filled by networking. Networking is the best way to find a job. Talking to people working in your target areas is the best way to find out more...

Finance Jobs Hope. The Mess is Getting Cleaned Up 21 Apr 2009
|
|
Keynes:
Well ... the markets have improved somewhat since my last post. Many financial stocks have rallied and the credit markets continue to stabilize. I am not saying the damage is over but there have been a few positive signs in the global markets. For example, JP Morgan, a major financial barometer of mine, after trading as low as $14.96 in early...

|
|
NY Wang:
If you are a "Blue Ocean Strategy" person, should you try to find a banking job in the Greater China region? The obvious answer is yes. The power of China can be felt in the G20.

My MBA: A Banker's Gamble Gone Bust. Bad Luck. 07 Apr 2009
|
|
Sully:
Let me know if this sound's like your situation. You worked at a place for a few years. It's an OK job but not very stimulating. You decide to go to business school but you don't have enough money. You continue working at that job for another year so you can save enough to pay for part of the tuition. You get accepted to business school and you...

So You Want a Career in Investment Banking, Corporate Finance or Trading? 27 Mar 2009
|
|
Keynes:
Well let's see. For the first time in 7 years the U.K. couldn't find enough buyers for its Gilt auction so it failed. In the USA, treasury bills are trading at NEGATIVE rates today which means investors are so afraid of losing their principal that they are willing to PAY the gov't to hold on to their money. Ummm ... yes ... it should work the... |
