I sailed into IB without any experience, made a bundle, then gradually moved up the ladder till I ran a large department.

well, I would have done. If I hadn't stared at the birds bazongas at the interview

... departments to run (needing lots of research analysts and quants, all effectively non-fee earning positions).

Didn't we have a quant on here some time back?...iirc sasguru got infatuated

If you tried that you'd probably get your head kicked in. Most (equities) traders are more than capable of handling an IT nerd like yourself.

Did you see it when it kicked off in the City in May 2003? The "anarchists" got a right pasting from some traders.

I remember working down at St Catherine's Dock when some eco-oiks tried to raid the Energy trading floor and were given extremely short physical shrift from the barrow-boy traders. I suppose if they interfere with their work it means they could be losing quite large sums of cash, tends to get people upset.
