I'll pm you the next time I'm going to be in the city for an extended period. I'm waiting to see if I get an offer next week from a large institution in mid-town. It's the main iron I have in the fire.

Actually ML's decision was all about revenue. If you can prove a business case AND show a profit, your group is fine. You show a loss - buh-bye. And yes, the new regs blow - IMHO.

MD - Whipping post - LOL!!

Yes, the days of loyalty and dedication are over. It's all about profit.

For South Park fans, repeat after me...

"1 - Steal Underpants, 2 - ???, 3 - Profit!!"

Everyone,
I'd like to thank everyone for their very kind words of support. It's been a surreal day in my world, and things will be juuuuust fiiiiiinnnnnee!! I'll be sure to tell you when I do land somewhere.
Tom

Best of luck finding something better. There are lots of opportunities out there. I was leery of starting my own business and there were naysayers but I'm glad I did it. Three years in now. Working for yourself (and your customers) is satisfying in ways that working for someone else can never be.
