HSBC

Some industry insiders have the following rumors to report. Some of this may not be news to you and none of this can be verified, but we thought we would at least give everyone a heads up so if you are in one of these divisions you can take the proper steps to prepare for some (potentially) grim news.

• * On December 8th, Deutsche Bank may announce further layoffs in Capital Mkts / S&T in the New York office.
• * HSBC is planning on having layoffs to IBD and S&T in London before year end

I have an phone interview with HSBC NY I-banking advisory. What should I expect? It is going to be a short interview from what I am told.
