    Quitting a Job Without Another

    If it was me, I would take a 6 month sabbatical to go travelling. Reflect on what you have achieved and what you want to do with your life. For many, PE is considered very close to the top of the pyramid and you I would think long and hard about leaving it for a 'big bank'. If you were to stay...

    Edinburgh (near Usher Hall) Wine Bars/Cocktail Bars. Tuesday Afternoon.

    You have a few options, all a short(ish) walk from CT. Divino Enteco, Le Di-Vin and The Dome (closer to Waverly) would be good shouts.

    Business / account minded people - new limited company

    I am not an accountant but unless I have misunderstood, there shouldn't be any tax to pay. He is selling assets for below book value (assuming he is) so will, if anything, incur a net loss on sale and therefore get a beneficial tax effect (assuming the company turns a profit). How the...

    What to do with life now? Any management consultants here?

    dowie speaks the truth. You are looking around £40k+ in fees plus living expenses plus opportunity costs. BUT... It can be a great experience, you learn a lot and make a group of friends that will give you a network around the globe! However, don't go into it lightly. You won't make any of the...

    "What's your biggest professional weakness?"

    It really depends on the culture of the team. The very fact that you are asking this question means that it was unacceptable to ask in that environment. However, if there is a team culture of openness and honest about performance and strengths and weaknesses then I don't see it as an issue...

    new york steak house rrecommendations

    We did Keens twice when we were in New York, once in the bar for the burger, which was great, and once in the main restaurant for a porterhouse. I thought it was better than Hawksmoor or Goodman and had a really cool vibe about it.

    Check my CV please.

    I have to say I much prefer a single page CV with bullet points. It allows me to quickly see the key points and refer to them easily during an interview. I have spent many hours reviewing CV's that are walls of text that I then have to go through and pull out the salient points.

    PPI

    Well I would ensure you get a copy of the letter. This will detail how much the repayment is, interest etc.

    PPI

    In all honesty I think the FOS will side with the bank on this one - they have settled the complaint, albeit badly. I think you should clear the credit card balance and be happy with £800. One think I would ask for is a copy of the final decision letter you were sent if you haven't already.

    PPI

    If i understand you right, You won't up end up £800 worse off, just only £800 better off! Although I see where you are coming from. Ultimately you can risk it, and see what happens.

    PPI

    Ultimately, if you are not getting anywhere with Manilla, just threaten to take the complaint to FOS. It costs the bank about the same as your payment for each FOS case. I would clear the balance first though, just in case they rule against you and you'll be stuck for the charges etc.

    PPI

    What would you like to be done? I doubt they will clear the debt on the CC, you should be able to another distress and inconvenience payout though. You should be able to get through to one of the call escalation teams who investigate what has happened, try calling the main HBOS PPI line as they...

    How to become a Data analyst?

    I currently lead an analytics and development team for a retail bank. When i recruit i look for a few key skills and traits. Technology for me always comes second to the way someone thinks. I can teach someone how to use SAS, R or SSAS, I can't teach someone to have an analytical mindset...

    Sum of Arithmetic Series

    n is a constant in the series, i.e. the total number of terms. So if I sum from 1 to 100, n would be 100, it wouldn't vary from 1 to 100. Does that make sense?
