I talked to Chris about the Texas opportunity and he seemed interested. He still wanted to talk to Scott Neal about a potential cash trading role on the East desk. In the same breath he said that he welcomed an opportunity that had some commercial aspects but did not require running a book (which the East desk job would probably require). I believe he is hesitant to leave the East environment because he is so familiar with it. He said he will let me know on Monday morning.
