<t>I would think if your wife sues her advisor, although it may give her some anger relieve, in the long run it will definitely cost more harm to her career. (If she can get a lot of money from that then that is another issue.)Things like this happen very often in any industry. The only thing your w...

<t>In my bank, mid office means product control. Product control usually are accountants and they are not technical. Their responsibility is to calculate the traders PnL. Every day the computer system will calculate how much is the change of MTM and also the risk of the traders. Usually a bank will ...

<t>The whole question really depends on your definition of "front office".Strictly speaking, front office means those people who have a PnL budget. Therefore, only the traders and sales are front office on the trading floor.Quants are similar to research. Research does not have a PnL budget. Therefo...

<t>I have got an offer from another bank recently. The new job's role is much better than the existing one, and is extremely close to business. At the same time, I really like the bank I am working in. I have got good colleagues. I have also got good relationship with the traders, and they look afte...

<t>Usually how long does it take for a (big) bank to give an offer after salary negotiation? A few days ago the headhunter asking me what is my expected salary after I have gone through all the interviews with that bank.

Thanks for sharing your experience.When you were a quant, did you work closely with traders? Also, according to your experience, how much money can a flow trader earns?

in that case, i would not choose a french bank unless I can socialise with French people very well (not just speak their language fluently).

<t>I would think if you are a French, you should choose a French bank, espeically if the manager of the team is also a French.It has been said that a champion jockey may not necessary be the one who has the best skills, but he is definitely the one who knows how to position himself to get the best h...

<t>Most likely HH1 will send his candidates to compete against you for that position.When HH2 finds out you leak the position to HH1, he will persuade you to tell him what interviews HH1 has arranged for you.Finally, when HH1 and HH2 find out that you leak the secrets to other companies easily, they...
