      Have you applied for gigs at any Investment Banks? If so did you get any feedback? When hiring contractors whilst at JPM I was concerned about experience only gained from small outfits, large retail banks/insurance should open a few doors.

            Some IT cross over - or ideally if there was one that was specific to testing?

            Basically a recognized course that gets me up to speed with all the investment lingo such as derivatives, trade lifecycle etc.
            TRY CFA
            If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.

              Saying that - i don't think i'm too far away given that most of my experience is in financials.
