Pension funds, used to thinking in decades, have been thrown into real-time firefighting mode by the crisis roiling British markets.
Many U.K. pensions are rushing to raise cash to satisfy collateral calls triggered by rapid moves in usually staid government bonds. Adding to the urgency: the Bank of England’s plans to end its emergency bond-buying this Friday, after which many fear volatility could surge again.
Andrew Bailey, the central bank’s governor, reiterated to pension funds on Tuesday that they had just days left to act, warning: “You’ve got to get this done.”
There are probably 30+ Houston traders on this forum, and some pretty heavy hitters too
Super chill office culture. Interns just dress nice, tailored clothes but nothing that says "i'm a douche" like guady belts or rollies. We had an intern that dressed like he came outta the trailer park and he turned out to be an absolute rock star
Live in Midtown, Montrose or Washington corridor.
I'd say Midtown over Montrose unless... you know. Some downtown places are fine, and if you can swing it River Oaks shopping district is cool too (though has become more popular with successful drug dealers as of late).
how's the energy corridor?
No no I’m a 23yr old and please do not live in Midtown. Very trashy. Go montrose or the heights. Don’t live in the energy corridor when you first start. Can always move there a few year in. My trade floor is polos and jeans or untucked dress shirts (interns a step up with button up + dress pants)
midtown is trashy why?
you mean EC is more suburban for families, etc?
also this is an intern… looking to live somewhere close to newer bar scene as well as the downtown/financial area. will only be 10 weeks with roommates, not super worried if it’s expensive for that time.
Higher crime rates (loads of car break ins), the bars there (which I do enjoy from time to time) bring an interesting crowd, smaller sized apartments for equal $$, limited green space. I’m not saying avoid doing things there, I was just there a few hours ago in fact, but there are far better places to live IMO
Not necessarily saying the energy corridor is for families- most people I know there are either single or in a relationship w/o kids. Just further away from the city. Could be good for an introvert who will only do stuff in the city/heights/Montrose/eado on occasion. Think this is a good option for 3 years out of college, just not right away
BB? I dream of being able to do my job in jeans and a button up..
Probably comm/energy trading - thats the standard from what I’ve seen
I grew up in Houston. City is fucking awesome. You should def go montrose for summer lease, probably the cheapest place to be plus more young people.
Any good country bar recommendations? Been 2 stepping a couple times and wanna get into it again
Honestly, can’t say I’ve ever been a distinctly “country” bar in Houston where any 2 stepping would take place. That’s not really my thing, but I know a little bit outside of town they have these massive “country” venues where people go drink and dance. Could be worth looking into
edit: imo, the actual houston nightlife is not that great. I just think it’s the best place in the US(no question) to grow up.
Best place to spend your 20s single for sure..
There is nothing to do outside in Houston..
