    No totally correct, you may get the occasional eye from a middle office, back office slapper but not the trade floor top tottie.

    Trust me I am a psycholigcal expert on this; as a computer guy you have the least 'utility' for the predatory females there.

      Moving from techie to trader doesn’t help either. Top tottie can always smell the geek in you.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        Well, you may not marry them, but you'll get to bang a fair few as you go along your way...

          As they are predatory - a lucky escape?

            Who needs a woman that is only after money? Very few relationships last on that basis, because as soon as there is a downturn she will be off looking for the next mug.

              yes and even the shy and prim and proper ones are a nightmare in these places when you unearth their true personality ... and also the over dramatic sloans are usually the worst more two faced than a Batman villan.

              Avoid or be held in damnation forever !

              bang em and then its off to the courts with you !

                I will second that.

                In most places that we might work, the IT Contractors are the high earners, so you might get a bit of interest.

                In the City, there are thousands and thousands of people that make us look like paupers. The likes of us are unlikely to get a look in, unless you go down to the pubs that cater for the back-office staff letting their hair down

                      I finished up there in May after 18 months.

                      Like any investment bank, you cannot generalise on the working hours.

                      It depends totally on the manager, dept., contractor, etc.

                      There was a contractor starting work there at 10am and leaving at 5pm, in Compliance IT (he is still there!). Useless git.
