Telling people to leave\u00a0finance<\/a><\/p>\n

First, I want to say it’s frustrating how risk-averse the culture in finance is. I know, it’s strange to hear that, but compared to working in a start-up, I found the culture and people in finance to be way more risk-averse in the sense of personal<\/em> risk, not in the sense of “putting other people\u2019s money at risk”.<\/p>\n

People in start-ups are optimistic about the future, ready for the big pay-out that may never come, whereas the people in finance are ready for the world to melt down and are trying to collect enough food before it happens.
