Anthropologist Joris Luyendijk gets City workers to talk about their life, their ups and downs and what an average working day looks like
Since September 2011 the Guardian has been running a blog, “Voices of finance”, on which bankers and professionals in the Square Mile speak about their typical working day for anthropologist Joris Luyendijk. Here is an M&A lawyer (with an insanely dull “war story” at the start) and here is a competition lawyer.
Amongst the more interesting monologues is this female head of marketing (“try not to make men look stupid”) and this “banker’s ex-girlfriend“; this salesman for a brokerage firm, and this venture capitalist . (Updated) The saddest is this banker’s wife.
The Guardian’s Voices of Finance blog is ongoing.
