A little stressed as the girlfriend is coming to stay for a few days and I need to go out and buy enough food for the two of us. She's vegetarian so trying to come up with some ideas for dinner.

Eggs, chips and beans.

First class mood today.

 

After a protracted 2 month recruitment process I have received and signed my offer from a a global bank which is worth and extra 50K a year. 3 months gardening leave here we come.

 

Where are you going and have they got any IT jobs going?

 

HSBC. I think they use external IT.

 

My colleague has handed his notice in today - off to Lloyds - that takes my department down to 2.

 

I might start looking seriously now or hold out until November when I'll have 7 years for redundancy purposes - however I'm a bit concerned all the cuts fallout will flood the market with job seekers so it might be best to go now.

Head hunters have been mad busy in my sector for the past few months and from what I can see there is a general drive on from a lot of the banks - even RBS are pushing.

I was at Barclays for 6 years - they still have ambitions to be a global player and to be fair BARCAP are the darlings at the moment.

That's the branch that's doing the mass hiring - our production manager is off there and the lad who's leaving had an interview there as well.
