Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI think what he is saying is it's awash with people like you. You'll always get preference due to your previous experience in the sector and there are plenty like you. It's going to be very difficult to get in to it when the clients are looking for previous banking experience. They will always pick guys like youover someone with non. The chances of getting a gig with no experience because there isn't anyone else suitable is slim to nil.Originally posted by Nigel Farage MEP - 2016-06-24 04:00:00"I hope this victory brings down this failed project and leads us to a Europe of sovereign nation states, trading together, being friends together, cooperating together, and let's get rid of the flag, the anthem, Brussels, and all that has gone wrong."Comment

If you have managed to blag a business facing role somehow - read All About Derivatives by Michael Durbin for front office knowledge and Securities Operations by Michael Simmons for back office. Here, you are getting into a specialised world and it will take you a number of years to be useful within it.
Banking IT market is shrinking, the business knowledge value is depreciating for contractors. I would target boring regulatory work if you want longevity in banking.

You had better learn some respect before you enter my world pal. And get rid of that pony tail. You're going into a mans environment with the men. For example, in banking it's common to share urinals. Someone might even piss across you because they are busy and need to get back to the desk. That is what you are getting into. Learn to love it.Comment
