Does Trading Really Need to Justify It's "Societal Value"?
I go to a target where everyone and their little sister wants to go finance, and an interesting trend I've noticed is that people that I know are interested in finance frequently cite their reason to go pursue investment banking over trading because it creates "societal value", or something along...

Do these "Fuck Banking" posts refer to S&T or CM as well?
Obviously a hot topic on WSO has been all of the banking posts we've seen where people basically emphasize their hatred toward the profession or state that it's not for them in some way. This often has to do with the work involved, the hours, and the feeling that one isn't really learning much.
