Greenlights, thanks for your reply and well done to you!
I agree with you but maybe I should rephrase my question.
If the job at the hedgefund is so fantastic as so many say it is, then why don't they apply for something similar? Why don't they 'rent a Cessna' if they are so tired of flying for an airline? What do they know about hedgefunds?
Maybe because it is not so straight forward? Maybe they are here just to moan?
The main worry of our friend is that this industry has changed so much. So let's concentrate on that. So far I can only see a 'problem' with the watered down contract he may be offered. But the job itself is still the same. Once back in the right seat I'd dare say for a guy with his experience the situation is a bit better than when he left!
