Can't say I've ever been in a Norman Foster building which I could have thought of as well designed. They are, unfortunately, another victory for form over functionCoffee's for closers -
Baron Foster of Thames Bank lives in a Swiss Chateau, and has another pad in France, plus an apartment on 5th Avenue NY. He certainly has taste. He does not live in his own buildings!Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostCats are evil.Comment

What's a 'crip' rate?
The roles I've been chased about the last year or two (never pursued as didn't want to work in London) were £600+ which I'd be fairly content with, would be able to rent a proper serviced apartment and still bring home the bacon rather than shack up in a B&B.
Interesting to hear they are even considering work-from-home, I thought all banks were super locked down?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment

Not investment banking but a contractor mate of mine has just returned to lloyds, he was given a laptop and told to work from home first day. I've worked with quite a few other contractors there who do the same.Originally posted by d000hg View PostComment

They have a lot of rules about not using your own stuff on the network, but are often happy for you to use their laptops at home.Originally posted by d000hg View Post"See, you think I give a tulip.

Ah, using those little dongle things and laptops with finger-print readers, etc, etc? Do they perchance make you remote-desktop onto a PC that IS running on site as well? I worked in a banking consultancy and we did it that way, we each had a PC in the client's building and had to log in remotely so it was harder to copy-paste or do anything without them knowing.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment
