Investment Bankers / Brokers

[skylineGTRlover]

Sup,

Just thought I'd make a thread to see if we can create a notable group....

So I'll start it off - bit of intro about me, I work in Cross Asset Derivatives, fresh out of MSc.

 

[drakioned]

I think there's probably a lot of financial IT here.

I'd be surprised if there were actually that many investment bankers.

 

[skylineGTRlover]

Either that, or I have too much time to be on forums haha

 

[MooMoo444]

I am not an investmenter.

OP:
New to the industry and fresh out of my 4 year partying course, looking to meet friends and colleagues so that i may get a leg up and eventually have their job

OCUK GD - delivering sneers and snobbery since 2003!

Next you'll be asking if he did his MSc at an ex poly or Russell group institution.

Can we blame the OP for the financial crisis yet?

 

[Scam]

Sorry, I know we're pretty busy hating on the buy-to-let landlords at the moment, but I didn't think any bankers out there actually wanted to, ya know, admit to it in public?

No, he just got out of uni.

We can blame him for the great financial crash of 2016.

what is snobby about stating a fact?

if you're involved in trading, derivatives pricing or some role supporting that you're not an 'investment banker'

care to explain where the sneers and snobbery are?

 

[drakioned]

Actually Cross Asset Derivatives sounds like the perfect area to start the next financial crisis

 

[drakioned]

wait, what?

Why aren't traders "investment bankers"?

 

[dowie]

wait, what?

because they're not

why aren't dentists doctors?

they're different jobs, roles... they might work in the same industry but that is it

 

[jsmoke]

No but I've read Cityboy and follow GA on twitter, according to him all most city financial people do is push round bits of paper each day(in a clever way), schmooze clients, make ridiculously risky bets on the stockmarket and get drunk, and of course earn obscene amounts of money.

 

[londonbairn]

I do in FO

 

[Nitefly]

I, for one, blame the OP for the financial crisis.

They kind of are doctors to be fair
