RE: Hello everyone. This is difficult for me.
Welcome, Mark! I think it would be interesting to hear from you about your experience working in the banking field back in 2008:)

I worked primarily on an equities floor then but provided some support for the more exostic derivs desks, with names exceeding the bounds of comprehension. I'm sure half the guys working the desk didn't know what they were selling! They gutted the floor post crash and the bank collapsed. It's still just hanging on now under the ownership of another bank that itself had to be rescued by the government due to the level of exposure it had to the bad debt.
I worked in Hong Kong for a while, back in 2006. Interesting place.
