In Stendal Red and blackA book that is never far away from me, the colors refer to two career. The first is the army. The other is the priesthood. The parameter is restored by Bourbon, but it can be almost anywhere in the West, almost at any time, before the dawn of the industry was the importance of such professions to national order.
It is not more difficult to call two ruling career in our world. It is technological and finance, T-shirt and Gilletthat first of all reject the most difficult graduates. It is technological and financial whose leaders are interrogating politics and life for their music. As a Google’s office near the King’s Cross, in London, the old financial node is also a useful place to assess these clear clans.
And learn to prefer, on average, finance company. For that business, there is a customer facing dinner, the silver sales calls, which support the minimum. In most technicians, the “Customer” is huge and distant public. So there is no such practice.
Note that before the world’s financial centers are almost all urban, technology often selects low density parameters such as Santa Clara field or Bens. Even Bengalouru is the city of Indian garden. Some of it is a historic accident. But it is also the result, and maybe a case, technological social difference. I don’t need to touch upon the extreme individual political turn of the field here. Or the main zeal of Andrew Huuerman, the logical endpoint of which is a scandalous recycling from bodily bodies. Even on the hotter technology, effective altruism and people who want to do good to the approach to humanity as something to help. The real or potential achievements of the equipment can use dwarfs on us on behalf of all of us. But on drinking. Give me FX sales trading body.
Something else. Finance is more, now you are very laughed, humility. As a result, in particular, the banking activity has a bad name, at least Lemman, at least outside of America, his practitioners must be put forward these days. People whose world is provided to hate, tend to learn a kind of preventive charm. (That’s why the largest cavities in Britain have almost never etonians.) The technician has not yet had its 2008, and he can never. Itself is high in a degree that can be easier to respect distance than to surround.
“Humble” does not mean interesting, of course. Nor “Suy”. Because I have to be happy for a living, I will make a lot of conversation throwing an emeyva moment. So which side is a more promotional company? I meet the raw processing force of technological thoughts. But my test – I still think about the discussion of the pipe house. – Don’t they meet more often than bankers or fences or less golden professions? One problem is the impatience of the technological world with the story, which is inevitable when the greatest companies do not predict a thousand so much. The result is the reservation of interactive events and “trends” that someone with a wider lens can recognize as foam.
The other conversational shine is that a bachelor that you see all the way from the local cryptoon, which is the class of billionaires. Your financial bra is unlikely to be unkind. (“Putin just wants a hot water port.” But something belonging to the approval profession will be inclined to go out. Archetypal Tech Genius – fabulously accredited, but somehow to make a greater amount of impression should be unique for the young industry.
All ethnographic observations on these two tribes must be qualified, of course. For one thing, technology and finance are difficult to tell. (Where should we present Sam Bankman-fried?) The very bigger change has been hired since its work, which is the comparative decline of another towards the other as a reputation industry. If all the finances retain the social edge, the technology will find the small deficit, the payment and the hardest thing overcome.
