    Remember to always negotiate your severance package. If you can negotiate BEFORE getting laid off, you are in a much, much better position.

    Imagine working all year and getting canned with no bonus?

    The fact that you don't pay DB to advertise here makes you a terrible human being. If your crappy book ever hits Amazon, we look forward to negatively reviewing the shit out of it.

    Oh, and go die etc.

    Working at Citi all year and getting canned with no bonus > Continuing to work at UBS with a bonus > Spamming the living shit out of DB comments with shit about your worthless book/ideas/whatever and failing to realize that you may be one of the single dumbest motherfucking fucksticks ever put on this planet.

    Exactly – you would think all the retail brokers would have come up with some new material by now.

    Follow up to my earlier comment, just had to share some spectacular little blurbs from Sam Dogen's (Financial Samurai) self written bio; http://www.financialsamurai.com/how-to-make-money…

    -Sam ran a multi-million dollar business where he actively participated in the recruitment and retrenchment process of a notoriously cyclical industry.
    [No idea wtf that means, head hunter for a sanitation company?, how do you actively recruit an industry?]

    -Given Sam is financially independent, he is less influenced by money. He is also beholden to no one. As a result, Sam provides more unbiased, edgy, straight from the gut views on personal finance. [Don't even know where to begin, BUT, the fact that someone is trying to sell you an e-book, and qualifies them self by telling you they don't need the money, seems like a good place]

    -My current hourly consulting rate is $500 an hour and the discount is available to the first 100 customers who reach out. [Fuck off and die.... wait... send UBS your client list first, Christmas is coming]

    I actually bought Sam's book on how to negotiate a severance package and it was AWESOME! I got about $60,000 whereas I would have got nothing had I quit.

    Several of my friends have bought his book as well. Highly recommend it.

    The funny thing is, you're probably going to get canned because you're typing this from your cubicle at your fast declining banking job! haha
