BB, You are overqualified as a senior analyst at the firm you landed at. That's the price for your geographic restrictions. If you are willing to go elsewhere, you can trade up a good bit. Ilikethenewmonikerbetterthan"BM"TD

BB, TD is right. Ya gotta come to the big city if you ever want to amount to anything in your chosen profession. Lookit Roger Clemens. Before he came to NYC he was a nobody, no rings, practically unknown. Look at him now, he is so famous can get away with just about anything. Which of course is the definition of a MOTU. BTW, it looks like your neighbor wont be building his shack until Mister comes back: When MicroStrategy's stock was still up, Mr. Saylor bought a 50-acre lot on the banks of the Potomac River where he planned to build a mansion, modeled after the Palace of Versailles, with a nine-hole golf course on the grounds. Mr. Saylor declines to comment, but those plans are "on hold," a spokesman says. He attributes the delay to demands on Mr. Saylor's time rather than the decline in his net worth. "At the moment, neighbors' horses are grazing on the land," the spokesman says. Gone also are the lavish parties and events formerly bestowed on MicroStrategy employees. Last year, MicroStrategy booked a Celebrity line cruise ship and treated all 1,500 employees to a week in the Caribbean at a cost of about $3 million, according to a person close to the company. The company had booked the ship and rooms for another free cruise this year, before MicroStrategy drifted into dire financial straits. Now, employees will have to pay their own way -- $1,000 and up per room, the spokesman says. "We're trying hard to get back to profitability," he explains. MicroStrategy was forced to restate its earnings earlier this year after it disclosed in March that it had misstated earnings and revenue for several years. Aw shucks. The fat lady is singing on the LUzer board too. Apparently they are looking for a different "skill set" Whats your "take away"?: siliconinvestor.com NotsurewhattooksolongNeiderhoffer
