Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone can comment on your perception about careers in London. It seems from a distance that it still is in shambles, but since you are more informed maybe you have a different opinion?
Hi Ducksworth
I'm UK based so might be able to shed some light. I'm not working IB/MC/Finance so there may be others with a better view than me but I don't think its too bad. London has come out of the recession and while the banking industry is still taking a bit of a hammering (mostly around regulation and fines), other areas seem to be ok. Some of my friends have been changing jobs and I haven't heard of any redundancies in a couple of years (save banks).
Europe is struggling a bit so that might be an uphill battle.
Maybe put a few tester emails into some UK based recruitment agencies with specialisations in the industries you're interested in?
