I just got off the phone with my boss in NY, and London. I was told to take a week or two off, and I lost remote access to BofA Merrill lynch systems.
I need to pass a Certified Sarbanes Oxley SOX IT and sensitive financial data exam and I was told to brush up, because it got harder over the past 6 years.
I was dual hatted 6 years ago, and I could cross from equities trading, to investment banking. Separated by a Chinese wall, to avoid collusion, illegal trades, etc.
I don’t know **** about financial instruments per se, in spite of being trained 6 years ago. All I do is lead development teams, manage Project that created applications that quants guys, and other equity traders use when they generate money. My boss loves telling me to never bother traders when they are doing their thing, because the generate money, and I’m an expendable expense.
I’ll jack off for two weeks, wait for HR to tell me the SEC gave me the green light, since I have no financial crimes on my record. Then take my exams, and hopefully pass. It was tough for me the first time. Bostonguy could ace this stuff, easy.
I got two weeks off. I wasn’t expecting news like that on a Friday after work. I should have, but didn’t, I’m slipping big time.
