So you think playing music in the womb causes autism? Isn't that then also bad parenting?Comment

Fair dos. But both comments are stupid - blaming pregnant mothers for playing music is just as stupid as blaming bad parenting. And Brillo doesn't have ignorance as an excuse.Comment

Er, back on topic rather than talking about autism....
Many of my friends did the IB contracting carousel from bank to bank from about 94/95 to the pre-Lehman's crash. In 1998 when I was on about £30k salary as a perm at a good consultancy, they were making £2,000 a week or more. I used to be in awe, partly because of the money but also I had this image of them working with really clever people on exciting projects and using the latest cutting edge technology.
It turned out that the truth was the complete opposite. My illusion was shattered and they worked with numpties, complete lack of any kind of direction or strategy, and (especially the women) had to put up with lots of crap.
I don't feel too sorry for them, several semi-retired in their early 40s; another couple I know have a penthouse in Docklands with his and hers matching Porsche 911s and so on.
One female friend used to work at Goldmans and said it was horribly sexist and appalling to work for. Trouble is the money was so good, she couldn't bear to leave. I saw her again recently for the first time in a few years and asked her if she was still there.
'No, I left, it got too much.'
'Are you still in IB?'
'Yes, I'm at JPM - it's even worse...'
So, it seems the lesson is greed is good so make the most of it but get out while you canComment
