Hiring Trends: Wall Street Regulators in Demand
The job market for regulators and high-ranking government officials appears to be booming! This week, Scott O’Malia announced he was resigning his position from the top derivatives regulator to seek other opportunities. O’Malia, 46, who served on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for four years, plans to step down on Aug. 8. Many observers did a double take, because O’Malia is going to head the International Association of Swap Dealers (ISDA) -- the top trade association representing swap dealers -- the very industry he was regulating.
Scott O'Malia's not even the only CFTC commissioner this week to be hired by a regulated firm/group https://t.co/rphRVN5EOa #thistown
