[1] Maughan left Goldman Sachs for Salomon Brothers in New York from 1983, where he worked as an international bond sales manager.

"[7] During his tenure at Salomon Brothers, Maughan was profiled in New York Magazine as ""investment banking's Hamlet", boasting and optimistic and yet curiously passive and melancholic.
