I have vague recollection that at that age most of my career aspirations at that age where to make MD at my current firm, which I thought was the sh*t. I also remember that most of the time these thoughts were trumped by thoughts about sex.
Canary Wharf's folks usually get the same treatment in numbers as Wall Streeters but in pounds plus some per cent. BTW, "Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway." - Warren Buffett. Canary Wharf falls to the same category, but even worse.
