I thought I would skip this here, but then again, circumstances decided no, that I should write it down and share it with you peeps.

Prior to the interview with Barclays, I went for another interview during the same week, this time with Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi for a position in Corporate Banking.

I wasn't that enthusiastic about it in the first place, as I'd thought that a Jap corporate culture wouldn't suit me.

Furthermore, during the interview, they proved me ignorant when the interviewers questioned me about the kind of products that Corporate Banking offered to customers.

I had no hell of an idea.

Turns out they were heavy shite like derivatives, securities, forex, structured deposits and whatnot.

Totally Greek to me.

And I didn't even pretend to be embarrassed by my ignorance.

What's more, I really asked for it by writing down "$2700" for my expected salary. Way too high in anyone's opinion.

I was really trying to push my luck that day.

And just when I thought that that's the last I would hear from that bank, waddaya know, they called me to arrange for a 2nd interview today.

My colleagues at work totally flipped out.

They weren't expecting me to be so lucky.

Maybe March's my month or something.

But then again, I'm really just waiting for the other B.

Barclays.

C'mon now, don't let me down, wil ya?
