However, I need to get over the 1200/day mark and I also need them to start paying my hotel and/or flights.
Now, given that the budget is being reduced, how do I get what I want?
Well, we are completely unsupervised on the desk... And another quant dev has done some shocking shocking work which I (and only I) know is costing the bank $.
Now, this guy has also tried to push me out to back fill me with a cheap mate of his. And guy is pals with the desk head from way back - so I'm under a serious threat .
So I'm going to have to sacrifice him. I am going to reveal his shoddy work, show the financial loss, obtain an extension and a rate increase will be offered.
I'll do this onsite, face to face. But I'll continue to do most of the work from my base in the med.
This, is how to roll.

I used to roll those, but still go back to £50 notes, they are more stable when rolled and you get a more even inhalation.Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View Post
