Here’s a fun article I just saw on Bloomberg for everyone that just passed Levels I and II and are hoping to break into the industry http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-08/global-banks-poised-to-slash-101-000-jobs-in-fastest-reductions-since-2008.html
… saw it today … and it’s sad
ehhh
Meh. A lot of those jobs are probably a combination of receptionists, middle and back office people such as accountants. I doubt the banks are slashing their front office guys who are the revenue producers for the firm.

Have their current star employees all drank from the fountain of youth? These companies will be reinvesting in some way. They’re just trying to boost returns I’d say.
Sounds like some of us are suffering from it-could-not-happen-to-me-in-a-million-years syndrome
What bad new?
