I coined it in the City from '96 to 2001, left just before it went to custard. I was rather hoping to do the same again next year in the City, but might have to see what happens.
I'm pretty sure that the truism that the City pays better than anywhere else in the UK will hold true, its just how many jobs there are going to be in the short to medium term.
What goes around comes around - the economy boomed with the availability of cheap credit - now its into recession largely because credit is getting tight. One day it'll swing back to cheap credit again, hopefully cheap credit thats based on a lot more substance than ninja mortgages and dodgy financial 'instruments'.
I still think that the City will maintain its status as a world-leading financial centre - especially with the US$ and Euro looking like they might suffer a credibility problem from this particular crunch.
