Right. How you gonna hedge a position by throwing darts at a newspaper?

Do people in ops have the title 'Analyst'?

If you want to do sales/structuring (which is what Liar's Poker is about) in anything other than cash products, get a maths degree (or something equally quantitative).

Look if you want to nit-pick, the condition (advanced maths) and algebra and statistics is broken if any of the 3 aren't met - since there is no advanced math in an undergrad finance degree, my statement was correct. The level of maths in a math undergrad should be about equal to the level...

Should be same as IBD - it is at my bank. (fixed income though, not equities)

About 80% of my degree is statistics in one form or another - but advanced? It depends on your defintiion; i definately wouldn't call anything that isn't cutting edge/ at least PhD level advanced.

Yes there is, just not in any undergrad finance course.

UBS take heaps - more than all other except Macquarie i've heard.

Joe's Deli?

From what i've heard UBS, Deutsche and Macquarie are up there too.

Wow, is it too late to apply now? ;) Really? Got anything i can read?

Shit, is that the highest level of tax you pay?? What's the cost of living like there?

USD110K base? More like USD110K total comp.

Congrats. When do they start over there?

That's pretty fucked up.

Newbie: I think that UBS are recruiting straight to HK (IIRC). I've spoken with people who've worked in HK, and yes, HK hours = NY hours > Sydney hours.

That wasn't my point - it was that if you struggle with 2u or General, you clearly don't have the intelligence required to succeed in these careers.

Nah. I don't see how that's a valid assumption. How would what compare to 2u or gen? IB and ops? You still have to be smart to do well in IB, so if you struggled with any less than 3u forget about banking. Couldn't tell you about ops but it's a lot easier to get in there than any front or...

Been interviewing for MC? Pay cut is pretty massive... I know that Bain give out offers well before their apps close.

Hahah hi newbie - if only uni maths was as awesome as 4u!
