投行的性质已永远变成商业银行了。
An out-of-work banker who became a symbol of the looming financial crisis by trudging Manhattan streets wearing a sign advertising "MIT grad for hire" has landed on his feet - scoring a well-paying job at an accounting firm.
In a more hopeful sign of the times, Joshua Persky got rid of his sandwich board and demonstrated that creative people can bail themselves out without any help from the government.

"I liked his resume. He had great business sense, great experience and great references," Elliot Ogulnick, his new boss at the Manhattan firm Weiser LLP, said yesterday.
As for his unique brand of self-promotion, Ogulnick said, "I must admit, it was very innovative."
Persky was hired as a senior manager for Weiser as of last week, just about a year after he was laid off by the investment bank Houlihan Lokey and some six months after he started handing out his résumé to passers-by on Park Avenue.
The road from the streets to his new office on West 50th Street was longer and more winding than he expected - but he never gave up hope.
"It just took more time than I expected," he said yesterday.
In his weeks as a walking classified ad, he got several job interviews.
"The problem was, it was the time when Bear Stearns collapsed," he said. "I had a lot of interest, but then everybody stopped hiring."
So he tried a different tack.
"The publicity I got from the sandwich board encouraged me to set up a blog to document my experience," said Persky, 49.
A headhunter spotted the blog and brought it to Weiser's attention.
"Obviously, I had vigorous interviews, but I think it was [the blog] which sealed the deal," Persky said.
"It feels so great to be back at work. I went through some frustrating times, but every day I tried to be optimistic."
He posted the happy news on his blog and got cheers from around the world.
Now the father of five - who declined to discuss his new salary - is looking forward to being reunited with his family.
His wife and youngest kids, 4 and 5, had moved to her parents' home in Nebraska to save cash. But they'll be returning to New York after the end of the school year.
"We're looking forward to being back together," he said. "It's hard being a telephone dad.
"There is all this holiday spirit around me, all these holiday parties, and I've got such a lot to be grateful for myself. It's like I'm celebrating twice this year."
