First timer... Well not quite
Hi All Quantneters,
Although this is my first "official" interaction with the community, and my first posting to the site, I have been visiting this site for long. I cannot recall how many times this site has come to my rescue. I would especially like to thank Andy for his tireless efforts to gather relevant materials from the net, which have proved more than useful in pulling me out of sticky situations in the past.
A little about myself. I have been working in the field of pricing and market data models of Interest rate, FI and Credit derivatives instruments in global investment banking majors in Asia Pacific region, specifically in Tokyo, Singapore and Sydney. At present I am a consultant with a Big 4 consultancy major in India. Although I am not directly into quants now, my work still revolves around pricing analytics. Given the recent traumatic/interesting (I will let you have your pick) experience that many of us associated with investment banking have had, I am looking forward to a very fruitful association with this community in coming up with out-of-the-box solutions to the present malaise afflicting investment banking in general and derivatives trading in particular. And in the process if I can be of help to the other members, I will consider that to be an honour.
Looking forward to participating in the various fora of this community.
Cheers.
