Changes

It's been over a year since I made the switch to my current job. In the process of doing so, I gave up 3 weekday classes because I can no longer commit myself the time of making it to the gym at 730pm sharp.

The past 1 year has been great, I found an environment that I liked, a team of colleagues that I really love working with, and us rubbing ideas of one another on a daily basis. Sadly, the team is going to be disintegrated soon due to several changes - promotion, sabbatical, expansion, relocation, resignation.

I'm going to be part of the change via the form of relocation. I'm not so sure what life would be like after relocation. There's still a few months to go before it happens though.

One has already gone for sabbatical, the other is pending a transfer, and one more is pending a portfolio switch. The mood has changed slightly in the small little room, but we still enjoy it.

What a team we have. It's a motley crew of different backgrounds, and almost the entire team are punters. You name it, we have it. From equities to FX to indices to futures to bonds to commodities, there'll be someone trading it. I love the high adrenaline of the dealing room, I love the shouts and evil laughters everyday.

But it's all going to change too soon. In my short working lifespan, I've already realised that change is the only thing that is constant. I do hope for better things to come, even though this has been the best ever yet.
