New York to Jackson Hole

In an attempt to keep this site up to date here is a summary of the events of the past couple months. After returning to the states I stayed with on some friends couch in Manhattan while I looked for a job in energy finance. I had such a good time and still did not have a real job so I decided to stay a while get a resaurant job and apartment and explore the city. Working at Spitzers Corner half a block from my appartment on Rivington and Ludlow was a treat and it could not have been in a better neighbor hood. The Lower East Side is full of bars (Pianos was my favorite with live music and an energetic crowd), young people and a history that never matches the next decade. Several job leads led to nothing I wanted to comit to for any period of time. One lead at a recruiting firm on a Friday in early March had several interviews lined up with a “company” that needed analysts with a technical bachground. Turns out that the majority of those interveiws were with Bear Stearns, the investment bank that announced bankrupcy the following Monday. This beginning of the financial slowdown convinced me to head back to Jackson to enjoy the summer because NYC did not need another unqualified cog looking for work.
