Well...ML has been dragging their feet so I had to cut them loose. It was taking them over three weeks to get me an offer in writing. At times I was getting the feeling that theu were using me to try to get the inside track on the company I am leaving due to an acquisition. UBS seems be much more genuine in their interest. Ubs also upped their guarnteed salary to $75k + bonus. They just seem to be trying much harder the ML to bring me aboard.
Some more things that I have noticed about ML is that they are very ego driven. If you ask them why you should work there over say UBS, their response is, "We are Merrill Lynch, and we are better then everyone else". That sort of response just doesn't cut the mustard anymore. ML totally avoids talking about what their business is doing to continue growing in the market, and in my case, why their market share is dropping and UBS is going up.
Stuff like this is making it pretty easy to change my mind to UBS. |

Hi,
i know it's been a while since you posted this message, but...
i was wondering, did you negotiate your salary, or did they just up it? and any thoughts about ML vs Smith Barney?
how do you like your position? are you in NYC?
Thanks
PE
