Kudos Duke. Sounds like the right move for you in the long run. It's been a while since you've heard from me as well. I've been all over the place and generally lazy in terms of keeping you all up-to-date on my situation. First of all, After just about 3 months of unemployment I finally got my ass back into the game. Additionally, I'm going to be moving back to New York City for the opportunity. It's going to be somewhat similar to what I was doing before only in the fact that I'm also going to be working with options. However, it's different because I won't be executing any of my own trading ideas. It is a broker-dealer firm who work with institutional clientele (hedge funds, mutual funds, pensions funds and so on). Additionally, its more of a sales role rather than a trading role. But its a fantastic opportunity because I'm basically going to be working directly for the Managing Director of the Options Desk, learning everything he does so that I can help him out and he doesn't have to spread himself out too much.
And speaking of Michigan, the true Michigan alumni network was working in full force on this one. The guy I'm going to be working for (a michigan alum from the early 90's) passed the job posting to another michigan guy, who passed it along to a buddy of mine from school, who passed it along to me. Amazing what's out there for us.
So I will be back in New York starting my new Job June 21st. Living at home and trying to get my ass out of there ASAP. Come visit since i'll be closer for some of you!
Warm weather is just not the same without some Sybil BBQing and some cornhole. Miss you all and I'm so psyched to come back in a couple weeks and see everyone. Woot wooot.
