The first version more than implies she WILL be in the banking industry. My favorite quote below:
"The former Washington Mutual executive has returned to the Pacific Northwest and is looking for opportunities to bring her in-depth knowledge of the European debt crisis and the U.K. banking model to the Seattle area." among other nice tidbits....
I wonder why the change of statement, must be coming true!
EDIT: Actually two different articles, but read the one I saw, pretty interesting and much different spin.
