Not get fired
lol feel u ,its been 1.5 years for me, now I am over that stigma
Keeping my job
Move to a better pod/fund because my current one has been losing for 3 years straight doing L/S market neutral. :(
You got paid bonus in those 3 years ?
Yes, but I was profitable or at least contributed positively to pnl. The bonuses were pathetic though.
Get fired. Need a year off.
Be careful what you wish for.
