I've done both - no difference IME. I think some just like the sound of saying they work "in the city" as if it attracts some addiitonal kudos.
(I would say that some industries may have higher pressure, eg, investment banking, but that is not because its in the city, but because of the environment. eg, the same gig in Edinburgh might have the same pressures)Comment

I was recruited as a senior professional - turns out I am assigned Jiras in two weekly sprints just like everyone else.

Sure I often find myself working on specialist projects where I am the only guy doing the project but many times I pick up tickets out of a sprint to contribute to the wider success of the team / projects.
We seem to be operating some weird sort of willy waving at the moment around here. My dads bigger than you dad stuff. None of it based in reality.
Anyway, the market still pants but thankfully I start a new gig on Monday and it runs to DecemberComment

If you want to remain technical then you have to align with the methodology the firm uses to deliver new capability and my present client chooses this particular approach.Comment
