<t>Back to the subject...Thanks for the link, Exotiq! Very nice.The job would be focused on the Nordic markets, both institutional and retail. I don't know to what extent the taste for structured products differ across the Atlantic.All of you (including HHs) are welcome to PM me if you prefer.Lincar...

HiI am having an interview with Merrill in London next week at their structured equity products sales desk next week.What kind of products are they good at? To what extent would I price/structure the deals myself?Thanks,Lincaren

HiI am having an interview with Deutsche's equity structuring group. What kind of questions are common for this kind of interview?What kind of people work there and what is the normal back ground in the group (I started out in EQD sales).You can always PM me if you like.Kind regards,Lincaren1

I am not sure if ABN is the bank for a long term stay. They are masters of destroying value. To name only one example: the downfall of the mighty Nordic house Alfred Berg.I don't doubt there are some brilliant guys over there, myself I am a big fan of PJ.

I think there are quite a few graduates trading vanilla in Paris, at least in market making. Of course they are part of teams sorted by the geographical area of the underlying.

<t>Depends on the trading role. The flow traders or market makers in retail derivatives are not very technical but more street smart. If you are doing the complex stuff with less trading frequency you should go for that.Do you know what you would trade?I don't think it would be to hard to change. It...

<t>As far as I understand, Lyxor is a subsidiary of Societe Generale and not part of DAI (I think it is called DEAI btw). Until now, the main function of Lyxor is to provide the underlying to fund derivatives. The advantage of course is that SG has full control over the HF managers.To be honest , I ...

SG will integrate the new businees with Lyxor AM, the internal hedge fund of SG, which is also highly ranked.

Chrispat,I don't have too much insight about this. It depends on the setup of the bank.

<t>Some banks use an intranet workflow site where the sales guy is the one who launches the deal. Then the traders/structurers take over who let the middle and back offices build the products. In the end you have an interactive term sheet that all persons involved can access.It is basically like a c...

<t>They are very good at equity derivatives, leading the evolution of new structures. Their contribution to the profit of the IB is very high (around 90%), which says a great deal about the bank's views on business.In the parts of the business SG are serious about they are very good (if not world le...

Quoteand unfortunately not many mini skirts to see either this time of the year.So I assume you avoided Soho then. At least Essex girls are normally immune to all kind of weather.

Thanks for you reply.I agree with you about Bloomberg. For the moment, since I am out of the market, the main use would be to gain access to the database of people.I would download BB to my home computer.Thanks

<t>Hi!I just had a conversation with a friend tonight who works a Bloomberg. He said that if you have had an own terminal with a personal login you can have a free trial for use at home for 120 days when you are between jobs.This sounds a bit too good to be true but I was not very drunk tonight. Whe...

<t>The thing is, I cannot think of any team sport they are good at. Certainly not football or ice hockey...Which is quite funny given their nationalistic spirit. This month (or last) was the 100th anniversary of their independence (from us I am afraid, very bad choice to let them go)...They are busy...
