Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostWell, I can't speak for IT but, as others seem to be agreeing above, specialist consultancy is the way to go (and potentially WFH too). I doubt this trend in IB will reverse after June 23. There may be more roles available after June, but there are far more fundamental issues in IB. I agree w/ MrMM on compliance though - definitely where I'd be heading if I worked in this area.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostHighly unlikely. You'd be very niche and imposing a limit on yourself of where you can work, which places risk on future roles. If you can carry your skillset across industries, then it's always better.

Have you seen the Big Short?
Maybe the banks need a bigger bailout, let's face it, a few trillion £££££ is peanuts, I'm thinking Graham's number in size at least.Leave a comment:
