London is known for its financial industry and filthy rich investment bankers. People working for huge financial institutions make huge and spend huge. There is no doubt that young working professionals slog during the week, and their financial packages are hugely criticised by the masses.
My friend (in this picture) is no different as he aspires to drive one in his 20's by landing a job with the city. He says "Why continue my present field when I can own a porche if I work in a Bank"
It is said if you are good with people and numbers you can work in the financial industry and its the hefty pay packages which continue to pull the best talent from engineering and IT to take up this number game.
I personally know few engineers who were brillant during their engineering and now are either in audit or trading. Open linkedIn sometime and checkout few profiles associated with either some bank or audit firm and no surprise, most them are engineers from top engineering schools from India.
I have no take on this topic, but if the trend continues, science and IT will end up loosing brillant minds at an early stage.
