This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Going to be out of a job soon (finance/banking) by MemphisSub

My bank is consolidating my department and for various reasons I declined a move to Jackson, MS which will leave me jobless in about a month's time.

So if anyone has any tips, leads, etc. they would definitely be appreciated.

I had already been looking around so I'm not starting my search from scratch which is a good thing. My background is in finance and commercial banking, with the last 4.5 years spent as a commercial credit officer for a regional bank here in Memphis. I'm about 3 classes away from finishing my MS in Finance and am looking to move into a research type position (ideally), be it equity, fixed-income, etc.

My fiance is originally from the Boston area, so any leads in that area or here in Memphis would be fantastic. My email is attached.


Thanks in advance for your help. A few prayers wouldn't be a bad thing either.
