Time for school again, I'll be around sporadically. This month off from school was good, but I definitely need to iron out some kinks. Will be doing so for sure this year. Thanks for the laughs, ladies and gents. Best to all

Ok, a totally unrelated question...

If you had a choice between:
A.) a job that paid quite well, but was boring you to death and project you're working on sucked,
B.) a job that paid insanely well and would allow you to pay off your huge mortgage and fully 'retire' within 5 years, but was in a very dangerous area, and would be very challenging, while living conditions sucked and safety was an issue, and
C.) a job that paid so-so, would be challenging so you wouldn't die of boredom, and was in the city you grew up and miss all the time, even after 15 years, and where your not-getting-any-younger mother (and maybe sister) reside, both of whom you really miss as well. (caveat: you miss your mother, but she drives you insane within 20 minutes of being in the same room; you miss the city, but you actually miss the city you left 15 years ago, which there's very little of left today)

which one would you pick?

Would you go for money and challenge, for money but boredom, or for nostalgia and family with not much money?


ggaaaahhhh I hate recruitment time!!!

Wall Street Bonuses Hit Record $39 Billion for 2007

Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Wall Street's five biggest firms are paying a record $39 billion in bonuses for 2007, a year when three of the companies suffered the worst quarterly losses in their history and shareholders lost more than $80 billion.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch & Co., Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Bear Stearns Cos. together doled out $65.6 billion in compensation and benefits last year to their 186,000 employees. Year-end bonuses usually account for 60 percent of the total, meaning bonuses exceeded the $36 billion distributed in 2006 when the industry reported all-time high profits.
The New York-based firms, which shed 25 percent of their equity value during 2007, have said they're eliminating at least 4,900 jobs amid mounting losses from the collapse of the subprime mortgage market. Merrill posted a record fourth-quarter loss of $9.83 billion today, bringing the net loss for the five firms to $10.2 billion and reducing the combined net income for the full year to $11.5 billion, the lowest since 2002.
``To many people, it will be shocking and questionable,'' said Jeanne Branthover, managing director of Boyden Global Executive Search in New York. ``People in New York in the world of investment banking will understand it. It's critical that pay is still there or you're going to lose really good people.''
The industry's bonuses are larger than the gross domestic products of Sri Lanka, Lebanon or Bulgaria, and the average bonus of $219,198 is more than four times higher than the median U.S. household income in 2006, according to data compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Hi, BohoGirl,

Just wanted to tell you, if the b) option means Iraq, then please, avoid it. Thanks to US it has become unsurvivable place for a Christian for at least 1 and half generation. Believe me, please, I myself had been working for more than 10 years in a pretty dangerous Islamic Country and so I think I know something about it, but now I would never go to Iraq. I like your posts and would be very unhappy to have to go without them ...

Im going for "B" also, but thats becoz im still single atm. If I had a family, I might be considering "A" heavily. Besides u can always exchange the boredom at work with the "excitement" of Forex.

Ha!
Thanks!
I just needed one person to say it instead of saying 'are you INSANE!!!!!?!'

I totally want to take that job because it's right up my alley and I know I would love it 'cause I thrive in such environment/challenges (not to mention the money), but everybody is so negative about it because it's so 'unsafe'. I figure, worst case scenario... well, everybody's got to die someday, somehow
(but not everybody's family would get 3x an amazing yearly salary as a 'benefit' )

Cool... I knew I'd find at least somebody who'd say go for it


ah, brb, guests at the door!

Only that the somebody most probably never lived in conditions which can expect you in your destination and thus does not have the slightest idea what it really means...
