We have a summer intern who is already better at Python and data visualization than half the Senior Associates. Instead of leveraging his skills, they’ve got him doing coffee runs and formatting PowerPoint slides because that’s how we did it. It’s a waste of talent and a perfect example of why this industry is so slow to innovate. Should I pull him aside and tell him to find a tech-finance role where he’ll actually be appreciated, or let him figure it out the hard way?
