Landlord career opportunity

Calling all landlords and estate agents

Has your [url=http://www.thelettingsite.co.uk/uk-properties-to-rent/]residential or commercial property[/url] portfolio taken a bashing?
Are you another sad case of Die to Let? Looking for a change of career?
Well, how about banking? Banking offers astonishing and unimagined scenarios with lots of excitement and very little responsibility.

The money’s not much cop though. For a footling £240,000 a year (which we’re paying since it comes under the Treasury) you could have a job with one of the longest titles in the City (what’s left of it) Get to know the right people and you could be, wait for it .. ‘The Bank of England’s Deputy Governor for Financial Stability.’ The job’s just been advertised with lines like ‘..the Bank of England exists to ensure monetary stability and to contribute to financial stability.’ And what about the perks? Well, for starters, you’re appointed by the Queen on the recommendation of the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. So you get to meet her Maj and Darling. Wow! That’s a winner.

That should make your eyes water. The ad continues: ‘It is an opportunity to put in place robust long-lasting frameworks to deal with stresses in the system and in individual institutions.’ You have to be of ‘undisputed standing and integrity.’ Well, naturally; that surely goes without saying? All in all it doesn’t sound a barrel-load of laughs. There’s no mention of bonuses or Ferraris or rounding up bankers on the run and organising firing squads.
