I am outside the US and keep getting Google search results for my current region in a foreign language, even after changing my settings. I made sure the region said “United States” and not “Current Region” and even tried translating the page, which didn’t work either.

I understand that Google often ignores language and region settings in favor of IP-based location detection, which makes no sense to me. What is the purpose of changing the settings if Google is just going to ignore them?

I tried using a VPN, but the WiFi I am using won’t connect properly with a VPN enabled. Seems like all this fancy technology is pretty much useless anytime you actually need it.

Is there a better way around this?

I am wondering what my chances are at re-entering the IB industry after a temporary FINRA suspension. Here is my story:

4 years ago I was caught accessing notes during a FINRA administered exam. I eventually accepted an 18 month bar from the industry which has since expired. I was young and very new to the industry and made an admittedly dumb mistake. It was very out of character for me and besides this, I have an excellent professional and personal record.

Since the incident I have been working at a non-profit while serving in the Army reserve. I recently completed a combat deployment where I earned the Bronze Star, and regularly volunteer with religious and veteran organizations. Looking forward, I am headed to a top 5 foreign affairs school this Fall and am considering doing a dual MBA (top 15). I am interested in possibly re-entering the industry if I can find a bank that is willing to hear my story.

I am hoping my behavior and experience since the incident would somewhat mitigate the stigma. I have heard of people who have done much worse that continued to work in finance. Has anyone heard of someone with a previous suspension make it back into the industry?
