Intern with offers in Houston, DC, Pittsburgh, NYC - Where do I go?
As the title says I have an offer at a large regional bank that essentially allows me to choose one of their markets. Won't be making IB money but it will be enough to live comfortable and its in more of an outside role. I have no student debt and the job is likely mostly remote when it really comes...
Does MBB location matter? Charlotte VS NYC?
I am interested in consulting after my MBA. I saw MBB has locations in Minneapolis, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Cleveland. In IB these are tier 2 cities, and generally, you would see a decrease in pay and prestige. Is this the same in consulting? If the pay in Charlotte is the same as in NYC or Boston...

WSO London Drinks
Time for some more London drinks - the venue for the last one was a poor choice (my fault) as it was too crowded and people struggled to find each other. That is why this time I'm thinking we go back to the site of the first drinks - The George pub near Liverpool Street station - informal, easy to...
Has Hong Kong reached its tipping point as a World City?
Recently one Bettina Wassener (IHT) wrote on in her article ( Link 1 ) that Hong Kong is losing its edge as an International Finance Hub, and is potentially in danger in the long term unless the supply of office space increases. There are several flaws in this article and its citations, in that 1....

Come to think of it, what happens to ML's huge UK tax credit post BofA?
This briefly came to mind when the merger was announced, but the curiosity has gotten the better of me, so I'm hoping the experts here can shed some light on this. If some of you recall, FT (amongst others) ran an article in mid-August describing how Merill booked their credit derivative losses...
