I'm a stay at home mom! My hubby's ridiculously successful so we don't really need the money. I miss working sometimes though.

oh i see...i bet you do miss the adrenaline of working in industry!!... do you think you could go back though when your son/daughter is old enough? is that something you'd wanna do even if you don't really need the money? or do you not find it as exciting as you did when you first started out?

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?"

I was asked if I was a fruit or vegetable, which one would I be and why.

WTF

This was an interview for Wendy's Rest.

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 :/

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.
