It appears Merrill SA's/FT analyst are safe......for now?!

Just got a call from the head of recruiting (worked in S&T/Research) this summer and she said that all offers were going to be honored. She stated that i should plan to start as scheduled.

I plan to keep in touch with the recruiters and my team and will report back with any new findings...

HR is the biggest piece of

HR is the biggest piece of shit in the world. I believe on Friday or Thursday, they said that Lehman was in a great shape and all jobs were going to be honored. Think of HR as a programmed robot that performs exactly upon orders. I wouldn't take HR's words with any substance. I suggest the best solution is to hedge your risk away by interviewing with others. Also in this environment, I don't think anyone should feel ashamed of reneging.
