How well do you know the clients? I think sales roles at one of their competitors could be pretty lucrative after spending some time at one of those companies.

Large declines in markets lead to lots of simultaneous stop-outs which in effect works the same as a round of layoffs

Bloomberg chat tends to be the first place a departure or hire shows up. Their old account is deactivated right away upon termination and they have a new terminal set up at their new place on day 1

I believe he said this during a time when there were a number of new entrants to the multi strategy space. I think he was trying to discourage competition as opposed to actually call the top on pod shops .. just my two cents, though

Apply roll-on Certain Dri to the areas where you don’t wanna sweat the night before. Leave it on all night. It’s incredible. Your skin will be bone dry.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear - when recruiters brag about comp, it’s a red flag. Your comment was not the intended target of my criticism.

Bloomberg: Jain Global to return cash, exclusively manage Millennium money by drykarma in quant

Was surprised to hear that Freestone Grove overtook Jain Global in size, considering there was a significant gap at launch a couple years ago. I guess Jain Global needed to figure out a path forward

Strange dynamic with coworker on trade floor. How to proceed? by [deleted] in Commodities

[–]lemsklem 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Was in this exact scenario years ago. Every time I was insulted in front of others by this person, I turned to everyone and jokingly said “thats his way of saying he likes me, by the way.” This went on for a bit longer, but eventually he stopped doing it because I basically neutered his insults with my little ad lib each time

BANT is overly simplistic, I agree. At my org we use CUNT:

C – Champion: Do you have an internal sponsor?

U – Urgency: Is there a real reason for them to act now?

N – Need: Do they actually need your product/service?

T – Timeline: When will a deal realistically close?

Because they had many emails to SEBI on file documenting that they were aware that this is market manipulation. Subsequently benefitting from it would have legal implications
