I'm a bit naive here - what happened at UBS?This is becoming more and more difficult. You shouldn't anticipate that kind of career path post-UBS.

Actually, there's a rule now that people in certain positions automatically have to take something like 2 weeks off at 1 time in a year or something like that. I'm not sure what the exact rule is. It's to prevent that person from hiding trades and paperwork.
Enterprise-wide Mandatory Absence Policy
This policy requires all employees to take a minimum of five consecutive business days absence from their regular job responsibilities during each full calendar year of employment. Jurisdictions whose mandatory absence guidelines require a greater number of sequential days off must continue to follow those stipulations. Mandatory absence covers any time away from regular job responsibilities and includes vacation days, leaves of absence, jury duty, etc.
During any period of mandatory absence, employees cannot have direct or indirect access to any trading, risk management, accounting or clearing system that may affect transactions or record information on **********'s books and records. However, employees may continue to have access to systems that do not affect **********’s books and records such as Outlook, Excel and Word.
