7 months... <inhale/sucking teeth>... that's got to sting big-time!tell me about it! Seriously, and I only got it like 7 months back, but oh well, to gain something bigger one has to loose something else ... so I shall brood a bit but then carry on.
Over 14K posts ... wow you have been a real long timer here.![]()
Lets hope things move pleasently .. am suppose to hear an update today. currently I work as a global director but with a mainly european focus in my IB, so travel a fair bit around. However the chance to do the same in Asia, is truly something all "3" of us are looking forward to.

No no, others have been here way longer than me... I'm probably just more indolent and tend to have this site open on a background tab most days I'm online...
That's sounds good, there's still a lot of new IB type 'origination' going on here. New opportunities, new regions etc. My background (back on my first stint here) was fixed income, esp then emerging stuff, Indonesia etc. The guy I worked for was a 'brilliant loony'... made us a fortune with the most complex deals across the region possible, but then blew up the whole ship when the markets went the wrong way, one week. I can lol now
There are the virtues mentioned previously. But in the same way corporates 'round off' the up-and-comers by rotating them via the products and regions, a stint out here is a great thing to have on the CV. Outfits tend me smaller here, so you're exposed to more things. In a way the opportunity is more down to how broad you want to make it... unlike the more rule-bound ways back home.
Gosh .... 31K posts! Wow ..... am glad am making you chuckle mate ....sundaymorningstaple wrote:Your second paragraph gave me a chuckle.
since you are a "newbie" like me ... and we all need friends ... I say why not! Will tap you if/when I plan to be out there ....FOX711 wrote: TAKE ME OUT TAKE ME OUT TAKE ME OUT, HAHAHAH
Yeah I liked that film, it reminded me of the sheer terror, even when it isn't your own money you're staking. Quite nostalgic.soulsearching wrote:so you guys can teach me a thing or two .... if/when I move (am only 32). Your comments there reminds me of the movie I got on Netflix last night ... Margin Call .... regarding complex products .. and blowing up the market ... haha ... (have seen it twice before, but got to love that movie).
Precisely what I am thinking right now, about rotation!! If things work out and we do a longer stint .. so be it .. but for getting that coveted "C" level position ... I think this will do me a world of good
you have been there ... longer then how old I am!sundaymorningstaple wrote:I'll have you know, I'm going home on the 22 of September!

Will be an interesting reunion, I daresay.

+1. funny isn't it, you miss home, but then go home, and er... it's not home and you yearn to be back here. So I totally get the running out of conversation/[novelty; or should that be lost familiarity?]. Damn it's complicatedsundaymorningstaple wrote:I'll have you know, I'm going home on the 22 of September!

Take a poll and that might be more the rule rather than the exceptionsoulsearching wrote:you have been there ... longer then how old I am!![]()

Definitely not lost familiarity, but home is a town of less than 10k people in a farming/seafood community. So aside from how the crabs are running and how much johnson grass is in the corn or the moisture content of the soybeans crops, there's not too much to talk about other than the Balmer Ravens or Orioles - football/baseball. Oh, and as the Eastern Shore of Maryland is full of GOP sympathizers, Our nearby neighbour (100km), Washington DC. Otherwise, pfffft!JR8 wrote: +1. funny isn't it, you miss home, but then go home, and er... it's not home and you yearn to be back here.

'Maybe next time I'll call it quits...'
50th class reunion. Wow, that's going to be an eye-opener and perhaps culture-shock rolled into one. All those individual journeys crossing once more. Are you drawing up a must do/eat whilst there list? You'll be like a reverse snowbird, going to Florida and finding it cold... hehe...
I think we r all working full time, until the day we die, only a matter with job or jobless, work on external or internal, with concious or subconcious.bgd wrote:And like Fox711, you do it for love, right?sundaymorningstaple wrote:I'm actually still working full time but I'm past retirement age.
