<r>besides Bank of America,there is UBS, BankOne(they have a Quant Enterprise Unit)and there are a few hedgefunds. Notabally, Citadel Financial Investment(but my own experience with them have been excruitiating. They showed a LOT of interests, but extremely slow in action. In the end I told them I g...

Thanks. I checked the list. It is rather thorough. I hope someone may have one for IB's.

<t>A friend of mine asked me who are the biggest investment banks (in U.S. or outside, in europe or the whole world), who is the largest hedge funds.I can't answer that. Also I don't seem to be able to find that information on the web. Does anyone know it or where to look for it? Is it based on reve...

<t>I had sent my CV to NJF search a few times and in so doing applied to a few jobs they listed. I never got even a phone call back. I suspect some of the jobs they listed are actually fake. Some hints are that the jobs available starting from last Oct till now are so rare that sometimes you can cor...

<t>In some circumstances, being a female helps you to get a headstart.for example:In our department (of Physics), there is this girl. Tall, nicely bodied, brunett (she can be blonde if she wants, but I guess she wants to make a point that she isn't dumb,not by color anyway ), nicely mannered. She lo...

<t>Sabeena:sorry for my ignorance on London situation, but I thought there are TONS of quant jobs in London alone(?)Especially when I was in hot pursuit of a job a couple of months back, I was hoping that I actually lived inLondon. As to the recruiter in UK, they work on U.S. position too. One of th...

<t>Through my own experience, there are very good HH (like the ones who got me the job) and bad ones, and patronizing ones. Good ones will keep pushing it by reminding hiring firm all the time about you. They will call you frequently to let you know of the progress. There are a few in NYC. I believe...

<t>HR people won't ask you programming questions, 'cause most of they don't know anything about it. They usually will ask you why do you want to work in financial industry? What's your educational background? what's your thesis is on? What's your goal?(or where do you see yourself in 5 years time is...

<t>I heard as such: Chancellor of Oxford has to be selected from its body of alumni. It is more or less fund-raising role. I also heard W. Clinton was under consideration. That would certainly bring some grin and grease into that austerely looking school. :-)I am all for Clinton, the Chancellor! </t>

<t>The hypocrasy of all is: North Korea may very well have had one or two bombs already and they have long range missiles that can reach Alaska. And U.S. can only squeeze a grimace and shrug it off as some bluffing. Iraq may have hid some secret nuclear program, but under intense international scrut...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: supernaut20Phil and Jonathan,That's very interesting! I didnt know that the <i>Vanaras</i> (the monkeys in the Hindu epic spelt Ramayana) crossed over to Far eastern art.

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: jonathanPhil23,It is actually from the 1970's cult Japanese TV flick called 'Monkey' (often called Monkey Magic). It is an adaptation of a 16th Century Chinese epic, based in 630AD, called Hsi Yu Chi (Journey to the West).That's what I thought. The Chinese epic was writ...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: jonathan(from a recruiter) The general view I get from a variety of my clients is that the PhD would be nice to have, but not essential. For junior (entry level) roles, the fact that you have a PhD is only beneficial if it financially relevant, i.e. in Financial Mathema...
