I started working in Investment Banking in 1998. At the close of that year, the #ftse 100 was 6930. Today, a full 20 years later, the ftse 100 is at 6644. Meanwhile house prices in the UK and London particularly have skyrocketed.

I generally don't do horserace politics. But with an unpopular president, a mobilized Democratic base, and before the "Bernie is Hugo Chavez with a New York accent" stuff even gets started, isn't this actually a terrible poll for Sanders?

EY axes 30 partners—biggest cull in decades—to shield profits in a sluggish market. Bold, but risky. Pivot to AI niches, flatten structures, or bet on tech to balance cuts with growth? #BigFour #Consulting #BusinessStrategy Short-term fix or deeper cracks? thetimes.com/business-money…

Snr hiring in FS has picked up slightly in 2026 — across consultancies, niche firms and fintech. But momentum is fragile. Processes stall, scope changes, and roles cancelled as firms balance growth with uncertainty. If you're quietly considering a move, it’s worth talking.
