Near the end of the week, the Head of * 1 3 m the Desk came to Bill and asked him / what he thought about tak ing an opportunity in Hong Kong. Suffice to say, he I was surprised by the offer. Though he had only been MMBSSK at the firm for seven months, it seemed his managers had enough confidence to let dffthe finance desk in Hong Kong. He went home that night and sat quietly, thinking hard on this unique opportunity. It would mean leaving New York and moving to Hong Kong, something he wasn't sure he was prepared to do. Finally, he made his decision. He crossed the room, picked up the phone, dialed one of the only numbers he knew by heart, and ordered some "General Tso's Chicken." Asa first-year analyst, Bill Glenn had the chance to expand his world, experience a foreign culture, and work with an international team. The global opportunity afforded to Bill is not an anomaly—it is sim ply the way things work at Salomon Smith Barney.
