BPO projects

cruz55's picture
by cruz55 User's RSS Feed (Chimp, 5 Banana Points Points) on 7/31/10 at 1:57am

BPO that is contracted outside a company's country is called offshore
outsourcing. BPO that is contracted to a company's neighboring country is called nearshore outsourcing.Originally,
this was associated with manufacturing firms, such as Coca Cola that outsourced
large segments of its supply chain.In the contemporary context, it is primarily
used to refer to the outsourcing of services.

A real baller trader - from phone to Porsche

dyor's picture
by dyor User's RSS Feed (Baboon, 121 Banana Points Points) on 7/21/10 at 12:45pm

I know theres a lot of you out there wanting to be traders, desperately gobbling up anything and everything you can find to appear as if you have an understanding of how the markets work at those interviews...well fellas, guess what - trading is not about regurgitating LIBOR rates in front of a inattentive VP, its about instincts. It's about understanding how business works.

And here's a 17 year old kid who seems to be a born trader - he started out with an old cellphone and kept trading up on Craigslist till he ended up with a Porsche. Now thats some real ballin' tradin'

Duke and UC Berkeley

zz0987's picture
by zz0987 User's RSS Feed (Chimp, 4 Banana Points Points) on 7/3/10 at 4:27am

So I'm making a really hard decision now. I'm a incoming Sophomore in UC Berkeley now. I didn't really like it at the beginning, so I applied transfer to Duke and I got the offer. But after a year, you know, I'm kind of getting used to the life here. I got a campus job, and am doing an intern in SF now. I can probably get into a business fraternity next semester, which can help me get into Haas. I will rush a sorority, too. It seems like I got everything here, though I'm still not really enjoying the scenes here.

How much is enough to retire?

traderprofit's picture
by traderprofit User's RSS Feed (Chimp, 10 Banana Points Points) on 2/27/10 at 10:49am

This is a real-life question. I'd like a lot of opinions without detailed analyses.

Assumptions:
a) You own your home outright, and are 50 yrs old and single.
b) Property taxes/utilities/ insurance / repairs etc for the home run about $40k
c) You only need to support yourself
d) You wanrt to do some traveling for 3-6 months out of every year
e) You like nice things but don't buy indiscrimately
f) You have never budgeted in your like nor balanced a checkbook as there was always enough money in your account

g) You buy a new Lexus (or BMW, Mercedes) every 5 years

Don't do a spreadsheet...just give me a quick opinion.

I'd like to hear opinions on the amount of cash one needs to be able to invest it in a conservative (but not freakishly so) manner ---which means primarliy bonds--so as to not run out of money. I realize it's a tricky (though in fact real-life) dilemma because there are unknows like inflation.
A key question: Do you think my expenses will actually go up instead of down as most surverys indicate following retirement.?

Does financial innovation help economic growth?

Beef's picture
by Beef User's RSS Feed (Baboon, 160 Banana Points Points) on 2/23/10 at 10:57pm

The Economist debate series is taking on financial innovation and economic growth. (http://www.economist.com/debate/overview/166&sa_campaign=debateseries/de...)

They are asking if financial innovation helps economic growth, or if the kind of innovation we've seen is really just greed and irresponsibility (the public certainly seems to think so). I think that's a pretty interesting question to ask, since the level of innovation (and complication) our financial system has seen has gotten to be pretty absurd sometimes. There is definitely the good type of innovation (the one that increases efficiency in getting capital from savers to entrepreneurs) and the bad type (the kind of "innovation" designed so that investors don't know what the hell they're investing in, for example).

So to what extent are we, the professionals of the finance industry, responsible for economic growth in this country? And to what extent are we responsible for the mess of the last couple of years?

Farewell

FTPiper's picture
by FTPiper User's RSS Feed (Baboon, 160 Banana Points Points) on 2/7/10 at 10:05pm

Farewell,
I will be taking a step back with my posts at WSO. I was the one who originated the thread about the NYTimes Article on Black people and unemployment and many other great ones.

As WSO wants to crack down on trolls, I believe it is time for me to leave this forum and let PiperJaffrayChiang be the ultimate troll. I pwned him for a long time, but now, I will let the cleansing process begin at WSO.

Good luck all my fellow college students who apply to Piper Jaffray, Financial Technology Partners, and Accenture.
These are my top 3 firms that are more prestigious than Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

Don't Go Bonkers

Exploding from Work Stress

I came across a shocking video just posted on YouTube two days ago, showing how an office worker exploding from work stress. I know many of us here work extremely long hours. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I also think that “stress relief” is such a “meh” subject for many of us still.

I hope this video would hit you in the head (pun intended) if you’re not already actively doing something about your stress.

Let me warn you though, some of you may find this video disturbing (myself included).

I wouldn’t want any of us here go bonkers.

1st Year Analyst: $80k base, $105k bonus (top end)
2nd Year Analyst: $94k base, $310k bonus (top end again)
1st Year Associate: $120k base
I got my $310k bonus and promotion 2 weeks ago.

Extremely Robust Growth Projected

Extremely Robust Growth Projected

All right, fellow monkeys. I'm on the tail end of a 132-hour workweek, so just a brief post today.

So there I was, middle of the night, massaging an industry growth chart into an artificially-rosy picture that makes our pitch more attractive (a procedure that many of you will be familiar with). The associate comes over and tells me to add an approximate CAGR arrow. No problem. I calculate the CAGR. Noticing that thin red lines are used for means/medians throughout the rest of the book, I decide to use the PowerPoint draw tool to create a thin red line

Just So You Guys Know...

Bondarb's picture
by Bondarb User's RSS Feed (Gorilla, 563 Banana Points Points) on 8/16/07 at 8:03pm

I used to post here fairly often but haven't been here in awhile and popped in to see what was going on. The first thing that jumps off the screen is that this board generally is somewhat delusional about how bad things are currently getting at major broker/dealers and banks. To qualify myself, I am a prop trader at a large, top-tier bank (and our group is having a great year so I'm not saying this b/c I am specifically in danger). Let me just educate you guys about what is actually going on, department by department...
