All of my “culture” experience working in finance were uniformly better than pure tech. The movie portrayals don’t match my experiences at all and I saw a lot more bad behavior in the tech companies I worked for. Heck I saw more people working for the intellectual challenge of it in trading than I did in SV style tech firms where money drove nearly every decision. It’s really hard for me to buy that SV style tech companies are a better place to work when for the last 2 decades the business models that have been front and center are panopticon style tracking to sell ads and legal arbitrage.
