I saw another post in this bowl about the “perfect finance candidate” & someone said that the perfect candidate is likely a friend-of-a-friend or family member of a manager. How much nepotism is there really in finance? I’m sure soon I’ll have enough experience and see it for myself, but I just felt curious about how much of an issue this has been for other people here.

I’m working on visioning this morning and welcome earnest input from caring folks.

We’re creating the firm of the future.

1) What benefits do you actually want?

2) In your opinion what metrics should be tracked to support wellbeing?

3) What are the metrics that you think matter to individual / company wellbeing that you wish were feasible but don’t see how they could be tracked or known?

Would love earnest inputs from other folks who care hard like me 😊
