I would probably say that the quantative trading groups are the hottest groups. Especially, in Houston where the sun is scorching hot. Most quantative traders sit around massive bubbles of screens, computers, servers, and hardwares which radiates ridiculous amounts of heat. That being said, I have met a couple quantative traders that have confessed that their desks aren't so hot, but rather cool and lukewarm.

Hottest place to work would probs be Dubai around summertime.

They can afford 7-day air conditioning. Try being in the office on a Shanghai weekend in July. Or for that matter, Southeast Asia.

Hah, funny you say that. My roommate was recently an intern in HR before moving to finance for full time. He has a gf, but first impression of most people would definitely be in agreement with your diagnosis. He's european, so maybe that explains it.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for freedom of thought which they seldom use.
 

What will be the hottest sector in a the coming future when QE dries up? Short and distressed desks.

Until then, equities in Dallas.

They aren't going to yank the juice straight away. And when they do, if it gets nasty, they'll put the tap back on. As a distressed guy, we're not looking to interest rates to be the catalyst for our next cycle.

Yea, let me rephrase that. Bankrupt companies.

Not to threadjack, but what other forseeable catalysts are there for the distressed cycle? Not challenging, genuinely curious.
