"The same factors that allow leadership to
manifest itself through performance and
teamwork also allow it to promote goals
that lack a moral, ethical, legal, profitable,
or even rational basis."

> "The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack
of a better word, is good." ... few people know that these words are based
on an actual commencement speech delivered in 1986 at The speaker? Ivan Boesky, who would be convicted just eighteen months later in an insider trading scandal.
I did not know this! Thank you for posting!

I had two stints at a hedge fund, one a hedge fund supplier.
The fake self promotional bullshit is so tiring. I quit as a result of this. It's the same as big tech, not any different.
Jane Street SUPPOSEDLY follows a flat hierarchy which has less of these games. I'm not sure how true it is.
The way I think about it: you hire people who are literally self driven and then you constrain them for no reason just to make other people feel in control.
Or maybe I'm just not a good employee. My first job ever told me I'm a horrible employee.
