I work in Investment Banking and have doen for many years and it is extremely common for someone to start at the absolute bottom as a junior and then rise through the ranks to senior management or trader by sheer hard work.
I know plenty of people in my world on 6 figure salaries who left school with a handful of GCSEs, started as inputters or trainees and are now doing very, very well indeed. As I have already said and so have others, The City is a very good place for rewarding hard work and determination rather than looking just at paper qualifications. It is not the case then, that persons within the bank with proven trading track records are overtaken by Oxbridge grads arriving with maths degrees and highfalutin arbitrage ideas and esoteric formulae? Ideas which led to the collapse. |

It surprised me that on the sausages task Stella needed a calculator to work out how much meat was required to make 500 sausages, or the cost, or whatever it was.
500 x 2 grams = 1 kilo. I've never seen Nigella or Gordon Ramsey using a calculator. I just concluded that Stella is not as competent at mental arithmetic as the average cook. |
