who cares... its your life not mine
Monty how come people give you silver bananas for such simple posts. The way I see it my historical posts were good for atleast 50 silver bananas.
Elegant in its simplicity.
i handed out sb;s to all on this post..
its like me asking you if i should wear a blue or white shirt to work tomorrow... who cares
Speaking of which... blue or white?
blue. I personally hate white and only wear it with a jacket.
I just love how everyone gave the person above them SB--talk about paying it forward.
Anyway, OP---you need to think about what you want to do with your career and then decide. There are plenty of other threads that discuss what a career in research or trading is like and what you can do 10-20 years down the line.....That is the best answer you are going to get when all you give us is "S&T at boutique"
i gave all a sb
neither i think you should wear a striped shirt today.
Problem solved, now I can wear blue and white.
ER. Much more transferrable skillset. Also, it is easier to learn enough S&T skills to be an effective analyst at a hedge fund as opposed to being an S&T guy trying to learn ER skills. This is obviously a very broad and general statement with many exceptions.
