I totally miss it. There's not many jobs out there that give you that rush on a relatively consistent basis. The irony is I finally amassed a pretty good portfolio but rarely do I enjoy trading for myself anymore. I'm more a long-term player now. I really gotta get back into it. I actually want to start doing something p/t or even just playing a bit more in options like I used to so I keep my mind fresh.

If you ever want to trade strategies let me know.

P.S. Largest investment right now: PRFT: Nasdaq....made a SHITLOAD this year on it!!! check out the chart.

My last job interview consisted of one question and one question only.... "So, what are we going to need to offer you in order to get you working for us?"

At Merrill Lynch...hiring manager shows me the intranet during the interview and points at our CEO. She's a middle aged woman and asks me "Do you think she's hot?!"

(at this point I pretty knew I was in!!...which self-respecting manager would show someone he's not going to hire something confidential)

We both look at each other for an awkward moment and agree she was far from it! LOL

I love you Jim!

>< I'm interviewing with HSBC on friday.. fixed income sales analyst.. Merrill didn't call me back :/

What did you trade?

Thanks for your help my friend but I'm in the "Great" US of A The interviewer seemed to like me, I don't know whether it was for my looks or the fact that I have passed my CPA Exam on my first try, within the 6-month period. We'll see how it goes.

My interview with PwC in Toronto was terrible. The partner couldn't comprehend why would a Canadian working for a big 4 accounting firm in the Middle east have a US CPA license instead of the Canadian CA designation. I mentioned a couple of valid reasons and he got pissed.

umm....why do you think that will help?

deloitte is not looking for nerds and losers who are fake, they are looking for normal humans who can do the job. they like their ppl to have a good personality on top of their academic qualifications.
