Market turnaround ib banking

By the way Cliippy, love your banksy - have a few hanging up here and there myself!

I've been at Lloyds ( just like working in Mumbai ) on somewhat of a recession rate since my first-ever 5 month benching.

I'm at Lloyds, though rather enjoying it. Happy with the rate, and the location, even enjoying the odd trip down to RLC.

I'm in EAD Infra, you?

I don't know about other sectors, but banking seems to be gearing up for a new boom.

Something is definitely up in IB. Picked up a good role on a decent rate recently and have since been approached for a number of other roles. In fact one agent approached me(seemed a bit desperate) to see if I could help her with 3 new roles which had come up.

And this is after suffering 7 interminable months last year on the bench and I couldn't get most agents to even answer the phone to me. At last the boot is on the other foot !

I think it is picking up, even in niche sectors of IB.

Last Friday I got called about a job at a very promient bank in the City. The agent seemed keen and my CV was a great match for the role - his actual words were "based on what you say you're either going to make my weekend or not". In this case I didn't - the rate was 40% lower than what I'm already on!
