    This is really 1980's culture and into 90's. Not really today. Is tiny percentage now. Was in the old boys network days when little education was needed to work in the city and more about your dad and independent school. Also nearly all quant roles can get with maths degree or engineering degree and Masters in financial mathematics etc. Not a PhD. Although usually PhD is usually more mature in learning and applying the skills as had more years to digest.

Couldn't they get any guy to put on a mask and describe what sounds like a fantastical combination of Requiem for a Dream and American Psycho.. but on the other hand the figures regarding salary and bonuses seemed accurate.

    Hi Afzal gr8 video mate, I think it really comes down to your experience. Some people will love the job and its quirks, others will hate it. I think to categorising it as psychotic is too extreme, but I see his point. I think industry and this in turn whilst dramatic, shows why young students should really consider the job and what it involves over just the raw number. of the pay cheque.

    Having never lived the experience of a white person, what makes you believe this is "especially" true for people of color?

He literally wrote a book and toured around TV stations telling this exact story over and over to sell his book years ago.

    Had a few friends talk about this. I remember they talked about Muslim trading accounts as well. I've got friends who are Muslim and who trade. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's illegal to gamble right? It's a matter of perspective etc...
