    Ouch!! I used to go to the printers for securities offerings in public accounting and leave at 2am. The lawyers would leave after us and be waiting for us in the morning. Brutal hours in that profession. We could roll off the engagement and recover but the lawyers would just move to the next deal.

    Great idea for a topic. I was CEO of a data analytics company in London until last month. After commuting to London for 4 years from Ohio to run the business I have now repatriated to the US and am SVP for Sales for a data integration software company in Silicon Valley. Still flying all over the place but just not as much international travel. Keeps the wife happy and gives me a chance to recreate my youth by pursuing this wonderful hobby.
