Class Updates for Summer 2009
Karthik Suresh (MS18) began a new job this summer at Knight Capital Group, just over a month after getting laid off from Morgan Stanley. "It was definitely a life experience to get laid off during one of the worst recessions in history, and also being a foreign worker, it almost seemed impossible to land a job especially in the financial sector," he reported. He now enjoys his job even more than the last: "I work on Knight Direct EMS which is the Electronic/Algorithmic Trading System of Knight. It provides direct market access, through its broker-neutral trading platform, to multiple asset classes and offers industry leading algorithms. I specifically work on the order routing team and this is definitely something better than what I was doing."
Ramu Panayappan (MS18): "It has been a year since I graduated and looking back, it has been an eventful one. Started to work for a startup as a researcher in Pittsburgh. The crumbling economy had its say on the startup and within months I had to look for other opportunities. Now, I am happy to be part of one of the intellectual teams within Riverbed in sunny California."
