Future of Banking & Trading

I spent few days hearing histories of friends that got fired at Nomura London after recent cuts, and today I've read about the cut of 1,600 positions in markets by SocGen.

Also, DB possible merger with Commerzbank is signal of another leak in the banking system (or maybe an opportunity)

2018 it's been tough, no doubts about it.

What's your opinion about the banking sector's outlook? And what about S&T jobs? Switch between discretionary and systematic will be that crucial?
