Reuters India – Wall Street, where hundreds of commodity traders lost jobs last year as the recession set in, is on a new hiring phase where banks and hedge funds want to pay top dollar but only to a few, highly productive people.
The actual number of hires is unlikely to match the pace seen during the commodities super-cycle from 2003 to 2008, when investment banks ran a maze of desks that handled almost everything in the energy, metals and agricultural space.
