      I did indeed join a hedge fund from an IB - I have been waiting 2 years and applying to all the hedge funds I can. Finally I got my lucky break!

      But the lure of Birmingham was too great. How can any mortal man resist?

      I do wish the client would stop rocking on his "chair"(inflatable sheep). How can I post drivel and make up my invoice with that distraction?

        There are some very nice places to stay on the outskirts of Birmingham.

              That's a good choice. When I worked in South Birmingham I stayed in Henley-in-Arden with Mrs Pritchard.

                I thInk the OP will need to be careful. In a recent statistical study men who wore squirrel costumes to the office were 99.9% likely to be virgins with an overly
                Opinionated sense of self importance regarding financial matters with a 50% chance of doing harm to others if metal cutlery had not been replaced with plastic.
