It depends. I think if you want to stay in London, you should stick around.

Yes. Network loads!

Entrepreneurship? :) Non-profit work. Or jobs in startups.

Hey Brian,

I got laid off a month ago. I am a Canadian living in London. Unfortunately, my bank heavily cut first year analysts and I ended up with just 8 months experience. I am thinking about moving back to Canada and working in the industry. Is this a wise move or should I stick around and hope to get back into banking again?

Also, is it possible to break into Corporate Development with just 8 months experience?

What other ‘quality’ jobs can I strive for? By ‘quality’ I mean, jobs which can help me get into a good B-school in the long run.

If you really can’t stand it, quit. But if they are going to fire you anyway, wait for the severance package.

Figure out what you really want and pursue it.
