A similar thing happened to a good friend of mine, but it was VW and BMW automobiles, not Deutsche Bank. Also, he was serving in the US Army at the time.
Here's a question for you Euro-speculists: how does one best keep up with the world of European state capitalism (without, that is, going to work for Flemings.) I was recently given a take home assignment on Ericsson, and I'm at a loss where to start. (That's an inside joke.) This request has nothing at all to do with cultural criticism, I promise.
