  1. same thing happens to manufacturing. manufacturing is onshoring again, but the wages are much lower at 14$ an hour. globalization and multinationals which are growing and growing means you are soon competing vs the cheap labor of the world. Better be at the top in a multinational then a worker bee.

    I was half joking.

    In reality it is really subjective and spans the spectrum depending on your personality, role, project, and if you are front office, middle, or back office. Personally I have only worked front office and on trading floors so I don't know how the other halves live.

    That's more like it.

    I am getting bombarded by people that have all these great ideas, but don't want to risk anything. So they want the "proof of concept" application to pitch to the investors, but I have to do all the work :D
