IB/Finance moms- How are you doing? This credit crisis has me down. I work in one of the most affected areas. I'm about to just throw in the towel. More work with less people. Dealing with triage.

That really sucks! Did you have savings? I've started to hear of former colleagues who were laid off getting jobs. I'd guess 15% of those laid off have found new employment. I know, not the best of %ages. [ Reply | More ]
