In the past 2 weeks, I’ve had several informative calls with 4 BB MD’s and 1 CEO in the finance industry. Some of my notes: 1. Wait this cycle out. Stay put for right now, moving to a bank is still too risky at the moment. Wait for a few consecutive quarters of solid earnings. Newest people are still likely to get cut first, no matter how good you might be. 2. Get an MBA. Almost a prerequisite for most top American banks. …more to come any thoughts?

Keep talking to people though without being aggressive about job opportunities.
