    Lesson 1 - never piggy back on threads

    So, I sort of half tried it on Reed's, and rightly failed disastrously.

    As of Monday, I return to the work force. I, finally, after a whole host of nonsense, have managed to get what may well be the perfect job for me.

    For those of you that know my presence on threads on this board, if I were to say it involves working as a consultant on stuff like pricing CDO^2 Alt-A securities for clients that they cannot work out how to do themselves (or where two parties disagree) and other such nonsense, you would probably think "he will be like a pig in shit".

    So, that is my job. I am going to get a landslide of the most complicated and crazy problems, and have a boss who is probably one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. Given that there are about five people in the firm, I am going to be learning from some seriously smart people.

    It is in no way lost on me, nor seen as a coincidence, that Ken Lewis of Bank of America was forced to leave the workforce the day I was offered my return.

      I think that I am pleased for you, but still remain somewhat nonplussed.

                  It is in Connecticut, so I will stay in NYC and get familiar with the Metro-North. It is mostly there due to reasons of the founders and the way that most Hedge Funds are in CT or NJ, with an "office" in NY.

                  We will see how things shape up - the expansion plan is pretty aggressive.

                    Well done. Does that mean you'll cause or prevent the next recession?

                    (Edit: Sorry, that sounds a bit snidey. Hope it goes well)

                      Haha. Well, it sounds like I will mostly be spending my time trying to unravel this one. I can see at least a few years of cleaning stuff up before it even looks like work on something to create trouble.
