That is so sad it almost makes me weep. I am thankful every day that I get to both work with cutting-edge tech, being productive, and also have a very healthy work/life balance.
- pjc50 11y agoThat kind of finance industry lifestyle is more like joining a cult or a Maoist revolutionary organisation, except the devotion is to money rather than any other idea. I'd feel sorry for these people but they're generally educated, intelligent people with other choices who've chosen this lifestyle because they believe it will make them rich. Not comfortably well off, rich. They're not workers locked in a garment factory with no fire exits or immigrants crossing the desert in the hope of finding a job to feed their family.
