Bye Bye Banks and Wall Street

[Alex]

I'm definitely affected. JPMorgan has a large U.S. retail banking operation based on the East Coast. My job is now redundant and opportunities in my field will almost certainly be based in New York.

At this point I expect at least 6-12 months of stable employment if I want it since bank mergers are slow, but I won't know for sure for a bit. I'm definitely in full job hunt mode now (I've been keeping an eye on things for a while). Time to see if the cinders have cooled on those bridges I burned at Wells.
