that is nice to hear, TrojanHorse! These banks here, I guess are so fat that they don't even reply to the recruiters much less some poor schmoe like me ... they could learn something from you. From my side, eventually I figure out that I am not going to get the job, but how much nicer it would be if they just called me back or emailed back to let me know. It is bad if they do not take initiative to contact me, but when I call/email asking for an answer and they still ignore me? After four months or more? I think that is bad. I have recruiters that act that way too.

Thanks both techgirl and TrojanHorse for your perspectives!
