Well, actually it’s my old job, although not completely.
So Lehman Brothers Holding filed for Chapter 11 a couple of weeks ago, the US bit got bought whole by Barclays Capital, and Nomura International are in the process of buying the Equities plus other bits of Lehman UK, the whole (I think) of Lehman Japan and also Lehman India.
Deal not done (UK), but it looks very much like we’re here to stay, but with a change of owner.
A lot of people in my group in London were looking for new jobs, many had offers, some more than one, but by and large, people have decided to stay. It gives you a somewhat warm and fuzzy feeling to know that a whole bunch of people are pulling together to make stuff work and make it work better than before (and without the US bossing us around!)
So what about me? Well, I’m in a far greater position of influence that I was two weeks ago. I have a bigger, happier team to work with, and we’re likely to expand.
I do have one very good and concrete option elsewhere, but my feeling right now is to stay.

Ah, so you’re going to be able to recant you’re time in Nom
Not sure I understand that - how does one recant time?
