Damn your sweet buildings man. Necknock has a relatively new looking building which I was quite surprised by, but it has nothing on the places you've applied for
Hahahaha, fucking 'necknock'. You're a whizz with wordz.
Seriously though, i've visited a few buildings, yay. I would like to work in these buildings muchly, those pics are pretty deceptive because those photos are taken from the second top floor, about 30 floors up. But I still have no confirmation on job status thus far. So nice buildings yes, but still no jawbz. Emily 1 Chris 0.
On another note, I just got back from Sydney. Was at a finsia meet at Westpac, long story if you don't know what it is, google. Freaking top floor and everything, felt pretty important. Like I had a massive penis and many girls to admire me and my much money. Got to talk with Paul Clitheroe (the "Money" guy) and an MD from UBS. Made some new friends too, but alas, had no business cards left so they gave me theirs.
Was pretty funny actually. Clitheroe was totally carving up the MD's on the panel from the major IB's, saying "no way would I ever want anyone that works for me doing 100 hours a week, you young guys need to get out and be innovative and create companies..." Basically said that IB's were sapping the talent from the finance industry and 'churning and burning' them before they were 35. Panel was funny to watch whilst he was saying all this, they didn't laugh, they didn't cry. It was like an......awkward truth.
I guess it truly was one of those "had to be there" moments.
