Some really funny things I hvae learnt in ION's training sessions: 1. Clearing is part of Middle Office. 2. Price of bond never changes once decided. 3. We used to talk in terms of buying 100 IBM or 100 Sape, here they always talk in terms of 1 trillion xyz (Neither of us had a realistic example :) ) 4. HAHAHa, read this, Future can trade on OTC. These guys are unaware of term Forwards. 5. Thre facilitator had prepared a seperate single slide PPT for his introduction (he can't even introduce himself without a PPT :) ) 6. STP is used to process trades comming from two diferent streams.  WTF. 7. LIBOR is pronounced as 'Leebor' instead of 'Laibor'. 8. Agency bonds implicitly means they are Goverenment Bonds. 9. The facilitator didn't knew the difference b/w Connection Oriented and Connection Less protocols. Mind you the facilitator says (orshows in PPT) that he has an experiance of 8yrs (2 yrs of RetailBanking rest if Financial Industry

This is my sapient Adieu mail: (i got recognition for Creativity for this mail :) ) Hi Friends, It was a late winter day (or was it an early spring) when I realized Agilent on clearing Sapient's campus interview (almost 50 months back). I did Dun & Bradstreet to join Sapient ('Persistent' with a higher package being the other choice). The only aim in mind was AMX . So very predictably I started with Anritsu  approach and wanted to ensure doing an AT&T every day!! While every day I wanted to start as FEDEX , it was also important for me to be a TOSHIBA and make it ONGC . Then starting from SapeStart till our training I felt my team was a DISNEYLAND ; The  Sa pe S tart taught 3M ideas, training was no Philips but  provided Panasonic  (with lots of  CS and Tennis and a bit of TRM , .net ). Later on, I was absorbed  in Citadel, one of the best fort of Rock Stars (as quoted by Mr. Jetly in his welcome e-mail), as a developer cum support cu
