I'm hearing that up to 25% of front office jobs are being cut globally - does anyone know anything about anything?

So how carried away do your VPs get with the tombstone design?? It's getting close to ridiculous at my shop...

Does anyone have any insight into the culture/ atmosphere in DB London at the moment? I remember hearing a while back that it wasn't all that great but I've not heard anything for a while.

MBAs

I'm currently working in North America on a transfer from our London office. Over there, I got a direct promote to Associate (M&A) after 2.5 yrs of pain. Life as an Associate is much better - average around 50-60 hours a week...and the occasional weekend appearance.

Anyway, I digress...what I'm really interested in is the importance of the MBA. In London, its really not as pushed as over here - its seen more as a career changer (why pay for 2 years education to get the same job you had to begin with?).
