Ive found something very interesting..... FREE access to vault guides from brooklyn college (usually they are expensive) basically they are career and company profiles (including top 50 guides), VERY comprehensive. Simply log in with no password...

quant is very simlar to another word:blush:

I don't have to be a trader to get the figures I'm talking about, I may become a salesman/marketer (which I would consider an easier job than I'm doing at the moment). I know a lot of IT contractors that have become quants guys mind.

There's thousands of people that have similar skills, but there's not thousands of people working on the rates trade floor of top tier banks...like I said before im quite lucky. Also the figures I quoted are hardly big bucks when you consider the article in the standard saying that thousands of...

you have to have sound knowledge of at least one type of product tho, don't get too carried away. Although I know some administrators in the city on 300 a day, you just gotta go out there and get it my friend. ere you go...

my key skill is knowing the in-house JPM exotic derivatives pricing sheets, Luck and skill in equal measures my dear man. I'm not really up for arguing the toss about how talented I am etc...I could give a f***... I'm IN now and that's all that counts, so I should be gauranteed a comfortable...

If you're happy with that then I repect you aswell. I must admit I'm greedy and I'm after the bucks. You're right about investment banks being long hours, I'm doing donkey work at the moment but I know that if I can get to VP position in the next 10 years within say ...credit derivatives I can...

Ive come a long way in 3 years dazza. Now I'm a fully fledged excel VBA monkey with a good working knowledge of the make up of derivatives with pricing/risk exposure. Like I've said before I'm still IT aligned though (so I'm nothing), even though I sit on the trade floor so my next step is...

Like I said it depends what line of work he's in. If he's from an Investment Banking or IT background, generally speaking he'd be better off working directly for the company he's assigned to.

Like I said I've worked with loads of Accenture guys and they're good, but all of them slated the company for being distant and not interested in their career, and they were getting half the money us regular contractors were for doing the same job.

how can you be a high flyer and only be rewarded at pension time, the guy wants the dosh now!! Forget Accenture and go and make your money now whilst your young, there's plenty out there. I can only speak from I-banking experience but when I was working at JPMorgan in the front office, I was...

absolute dross. The people that work at consultancies are the ones that didn't make the grade for Investment Banks usually. Long hours, abysmal pay (whilst they're charging the client a fortune). Working for accenture is like being a contractor with no tax benefits and shite pay. Stay away.
