Europe.

What is it you wish to know?

Would like to know how they are, compared to structured products desk of other banks

Are you referring to quants, structurers, or traders?

info on the group: quants, structurers, traders.

The quant group is separate from structuring and trading.The quants are awesome =-).pj

Other comments?

You surely want other comments, since PJ is one of these awesome guys.... you might want some outsider opinion.

Hi madmax (naouf)tell him your opinion about this bank ?comment va le ouf ? a+

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.

Hmmm. I have to confess I am not aware of what you are referring to regarding Alfred Berg.Notwithstanding whatever that may be, though, when it comes to a company the size of ABN-AMRO, one can always find positive as well as negative news stories and aspects about them. Whilst I would naturally be inclined to plant a plug here anyway, and may possibly rightfully be accused of doing so, I still truly believe that the support given to the quants is good, and the work done by them compares well with any house's quant team.It is a bit of a strange thread, this, isn't it ?I wonder what kokoon's reason for asking was...pj

PJ, do you know anything about the quant team in NY of ABN though? or the work are mostly done in europe?
