The three big languages to lead througth the century - English / Mandarin / Spanish

<t>London, London, London...There is no other financial center in the world quite like it, for tradition, moving with the times and opportunity..Canary Wharf property is booming, along with many other hot spots for city workers..Regarding transport, there is further plans to build a high speed rail ...

Out of interest, where are you taking your MSc at?

Come on, I'm really surprised that anybody doesn't knows much about this area.....perhaps there's not enougth quantitative people into this area at the moment!!

<t>It's a fairly new area essentially dealing with portfolio transitions (biggest players are 1 or 2 European IB's, State Street, Goldmansachs and one or two other US BB's) between fund managers - yes, it has a great deal to do with brokers/ sales/ traders as orders have to be carried out if they ca...

Also, I'm under the impression that someone with say 2-3 years experience in this area is much more valuable if they decided to make a switch into sales / trading / soley - Risk management at a later date, due to the wide exposure that is available..

<t>Just wanted to grasp others opinions if they know a great deal about Transition Management?

OUCH!!!!!!!!!Serious note - there's no single best route (be careful with my words here), just some slighlty better than others...perhaps, HR attempt isn't too bad - considering 95% are female and 9/10 are lets say AESTHETICALLY pleasing!

Nothing impressive for leading US masters or MBA!
