For all the hobgoblins and stories of bad-faith intent by big tech companies, they are still far more progressive than financial companies when it comes to things like hours, working arrangements, tenure, schooling, organizational hierarchy etc...
Find me a finance job that lets me work 100% remote and doesn't care I didn't attend $prestigiousCollege and... I'd suspect it'd end up being a tech company instead :-)
- mruts 7y agoI don't know about remote (No finance firms I know of would allow that), but I haven't even graduated from college and I make good good money working as a quant at a bank. Maybe you don't want to wear a suit and tie each day (I do and I think it makes me looking fresh as fuck), but finance hasn't been a backwater in a while. Maybe there's no slide and free haircuts, but there's something better: cash money baby.
- Tehchops 7y agoEven if you hadn’t called it out specifically, you’re checking every box for “new finance bro”. Strangely always devolves into a length measuring contest around things like clothes and income. Even stranger is how quiet that space gets when the firm hits a couple of red quarters. Nothing like underperformance to remind the plebes where they sit in the hierarchy of “sweet cash money” versus partners and investors ;-) (Also if you know a tech company that will install a slide and a barber at my house, could you PM me their name? First I’ve heard of that)
