Making sense of the complex world of finance isn't easy for an outsider – which is why we want you to tell us what it's really like
Welcome to this experiment. You are, in one way or another, specialised in the world of finance. Please look around and see what an outsider makes of your world. Our secret – well, not so secret – hope is that you jump in and improve what's on offer. There will be threads under each post and forums on specific questions and issues where you can post your comments.
You can also send an email if you have something to add, dispute or point out.
Almost everyone I speak to in the financial sector complains about their portrayal in the media. Why not help change that? Everybody can complain about the media, but your computer comes equipped with fantastic tools to talk back. What is the one thing that you wish people knew about your line of work?
How it works
I regularly interview people working in the financial sector – so far I've talked to managing directors, macro analysts, PR agents, lawyers and computer programmers.
Each is written up as an anonymous monologue about a typical working day and you can find them all on our interactive. Are you in the same job as one of them, or were you in the past? Then you may have valuable things to add. You may want to offer your own self-portrait? Or perhaps you are willing to meet me for an interview? Email me at jlbankingblog@gmail.com.
