What Happened to Lehman Brothers' Bankers?
Many continue working in finance, but some run successful businesses.
Today marks six years since US investment bank Lehman Brothers, a 158-year-old institution that survived the 1929 Wall Street crash, filed for bankruptcy protection and pulled everyone else down with it.
Thousands of employees the world over lost their jobs on 15 September, 2008.
However, many former Lehman bankers have been able to forge successful lives since 2008. While some continue working in finance, others run successful businesses.
Here's looking at what some former Lehman staffers are doing:
Adam Doran is a vice president in Pimco's London office and is responsible for servicing strategies relating to the firm's residential whole loan investment in Europe.
Adam Taylor, who runs petshopbowl.co.uk, a pet shop delivery subscription service, worked at Lehman's consumer mergers and acquisitions team.
