The times when an ability to wear jeans is a privilege
From HN thread:
I work in finance (for an investment management firm that's a household name in the CNBC world) and can confirm that the synopsis re: working for finance, "Lots of money but crappy environment, dull projects etc." is correct.
[...]
- no office (hah!) or cubicle, just a space on a long desk, hardly conducive for concentrating on programming
- dress code is shirt and tie, but on Fridays you can drop the tie, and every quarter or so you can wear "jeans for charity" if you pay $10 (yes, I'm serious)
LMAO.
