Advice on working with RBS?
I've done 2 stints at RBS (GBM). As poster above aceboy says, the environment has become very restrictive, politicised, and management by committee is common place. I had some great times there, but at the moment they are in a bit of a quagmire. Look out for fish puns on MindAlign...- Bovvered

Bank Reference Check
As a contractor I have experience at both RBS and DB. The DB checks are a lot more invasive than RBS, however unless you are trouble there is little to worry about. I had a few potential worries but they turned out to be non-issues. The biggest problem is just the paperwork involved...- Bovvered

Java and investement banking
I work for a large in investment bank, admittedly in C# but it's much-of-a-muchness. They pay top rates for top contractors, but a few muppets do manage to sneak in. The closer you are to the front office the more business knowledge you'll require but the more exciting and financially... -
