I agree...this guy doesnt know shit. descreasing bid-ask spreads and technology are affecting mainly equities and govies while areas where smart people work, where the majority of opportunites exist, are in Converts, Derivatives, High Yield, Emerging Markets...opportunities here will continue to thrive because, simply put, you'll always need people to understand these products in a manner that some computer program, rural 80yr old grandma on Etrade, and some dickhed college nerd day trading from his room cant...you probably cant either...and instead of trying to figure out what the prospects are for these areas, you hop on Vault and spew your non-sensical bullshit for college to read, absorb, and go tell their mommies they wanna work in M&A...which is good for us, because while you fiddle through resumes of the aforementioned losers, we field inquiries from only the best and brightest and dont waste our time...and im a derivatives guy too =) |

I never realized that derivatives guys could be such assholes. I hope that you are not representative of the rest of them cause S&T sounds like a great way to make a living, and some serious $$$.
The original poster wasn't arrogant and I don't think he claimed to know everything. I've been following this thread for a while and I'm trying to hear this issue.
All I hear is thought out (though misinformed maybe?) reasons to worry about the future of S&T and a bunch of over testosteroned asshole rebuttals from workers in S&T.
I am a college junior trying to figure this shit out and I'd rather hear from a trader or salesman who sounds intelligent than one who sounds like an asshole with hurt feelings.
