    No totally correct, you may get the occasional eye from a middle office, back office slapper but not the trade floor top tottie.

    Trust me I am a psycholigcal expert on this; as a computer guy you have the least 'utility' for the predatory females there.

    I finished up there in May after 18 months.

    Like any investment bank, you cannot generalise on the working hours.

    It depends totally on the manager, dept., contractor, etc.

    There was a contractor starting work there at 10am and leaving at 5pm, in Compliance IT (he is still there!). Useless git.

    I will second that.

    In most places that we might work, the IT Contractors are the high earners, so you might get a bit of interest.

    In the City, there are thousands and thousands of people that make us look like paupers. The likes of us are unlikely to get a look in, unless you go down to the pubs that cater for the back-office staff letting their hair down

    yes and even the shy and prim and proper ones are a nightmare in these places when you unearth their true personality ... and also the over dramatic sloans are usually the worst more two faced than a Batman villan.

    Avoid or be held in damnation forever !

    bang em and then its off to the courts with you !
