My understanding is that a large part of the finance/banking culture is to be able to show off how much money you are making, and be able to flaunt that - so being in the office/socializing outside is a large part of the job as it were, and being at home wouldn't allow for that.
(I could be be way off the mark here)
- saiya-jin 6y agoMost employees of the bank are far from being able to affect money inflows in the bank, so you are specifically talking about traders/private client bankers here, which are few % at most in any bank
- bennyp101 6y agoThat is true, I guess in my head I had assumed that somewhere like GS was just full of traders/ private banking, and not really a lot else - but thinking about it, that doesn't really make sense
- robjan 6y agoYou're not too far off it though. The people I know in back office roles at GS tend to have a better work-life balance than most other people I know.
