    Best off doing something professional. What does a maths and finance degree qualify you to be? Im not sure.... Combine it with engineering, law or accounting or a professional degree.

    What's your job and how much you earn?

    Front-office salary - What should I expect? Newbie?

    You seem to have missed the part where I was talking about grads. And I think omnidragons post makes sense. Although the people I talked to alluded to the fact that that is normal for a grad. Maybe they caught a bear cold.

    Maths + Commerce Careers

    It's all subjective. No-one knows how far subprime will go. And I dont believe this decoupling crap. America goes down, we will go down. If we hear about the next $400billion of sub prime writedowns in the next month, then we may rebound in 2-3 months, but it seems that there is still a...

    Front-office salary - What should I expect? Newbie?

    2months holiday - training you mean. And I have heard from people who actually work in ECM/M&A that they did work 100 hours a week. And bonus is not that huge for grads. Im sure grad auditors are around 8-5ish.

    sources of business news/info/current events

    WSJ, marketwatch, FT, dow jones newswires (can be a bit slow though). Newswires are good if you sit there on a computer for ~12 hours a day. It can be very boring and isolating, so you tend to read newswires back to front even if its about boring consumer sentiment surveys.
