Does anyone know how us firms do their conversions from dollar to pound given that USD/GBP is at 0.745. Therefore, 225 dollars is now sub 169 pounds. Firms that used to top the market now do not ie Kirkland now pays almost 7k pounds below White & Case.
Do you think these US firms, who pay $ 225,000, will detach from US-linked pay, especially given that GS FX puts the rate to drop yet further, so it could end up being around $ 164, which is $16,000 below the top of the market ie GD, PW, QE etc ?
