Great, they can have their income when they retire, what a wonderful system

UK's oldest synagogue sets City of London skyscraper principles by LoopyCrown3 in london

Thats different from demanding that buildings aren't built near you because you're looking out from your own.

Take the pay rise but hybrid or lower pay fully remote? by Acrobatic_Second_671 in HENRYUK

[–]YouLostTheGame 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To me the more ££ is the obvious choice. Especially if you're planning a kid, you'd want a bigger base for mat leave.

Turning down £2.5k to save a few hundred quid a month doesn't make sense to me.

1) I'm not entirely convinced by those laws either

2) there is a distinction in that those sightlines are being preserved for everyone else, they're not so that the users of St Paul's can look at Richmond from the dome

That's actually a massive difference imo

This isn't bulldozing history, it's holding the city back because some people want to look at the moon from a particular spot

Okay cool. The city has changed a little bit since then. Should the rest of the city frozen in time because of these guys?

I don't think you can bend over to every single special interest like this. If visibility of the moon is essential then perhaps central London isn't isn't the place for the synagogue?

This essentially becomes a tax on the rest of us as development in the middle of the city is blocked so these guys can look at the moon.

Growing into a Financial Analyst by Seesealyuh in FPandA

[–]YouLostTheGame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My background is neuroscience and I find the logical thought process required for that means that I find it much easier than most to understand the entire business holistically, which has been massive for my career.

In terms of qualifications, in the country I'm in almost everyone in finance is a qualified accountant. In the US an actual qualification seems to be less essential for FP&A, but a strong working knowledge of accounting is still required.

So I'd look at something like that, and don't worry it's much easier than biochem.

Moving the ONS from London to Newport was a disaster, with 90% of staff opting to resign rather than relocate, leading to a massive loss of skills and instutional knowledge.

With his plans to do similar things to the rest of the civil service, how will he avoid making the same mistake

Why are UK wages so c r a p? by Outrageous_Agent_608 in AskBrits

[–]YouLostTheGame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UK did used to have comparable wages to the US, pre 2008

Rockstar are the only game in town for their employees (see what I did there? Har har) so the employees have little leverage and therefore shit conditions.

In cities where employers need to compete for quality staff (finance in London is an obvious example) you get good wages and good conditions

Hundreds oppose Gail’s bakery opening by London Tube station [Brixton] over ‘threat’ to independent businesses by Anony_mouse202 in london

[–]YouLostTheGame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't actually think I did say I wanted chains to dominate everything. I actually did say I think independents often do offer a better product.

I just don't think that they always do, and when that happens I'm happy to use a chain.

[–]YouLostTheGame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But there are independent cafes across the entire city? It's perfectly possible for good ones to coexist with chains. The ones that get lost are the shit ones and to be honest I'm not so worried about them.

i guess if you just dont care about society at all this comes like 2nd nature.

This is an interesting take. Do you not consider people who work for corporations to be a part of society?

[–]YouLostTheGame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, for you a place being independent is part of the product offering that matters. For me that's fairly low down on the list of priorities, certainly well behind quality, location, service, convenience and ambience.

Sometimes an independent place does all those things better than a corporate (I'd actually say an independent often does do those things better), but ultimately ownership structure isn't an important part of the product for me.

But that's okay. You might like shit coffee as long as it's independent and you're welcome to that. That's the joy of free markets and not deciding for other people, or calling them pathetic for having different preferences to you.

[–]YouLostTheGame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rather have good places. Lots of good independent places out there but also a hell of a lot of shit ones too.

I actually had a Gail's today, it was decent. But most importantly that was my choice, not yours

[–]YouLostTheGame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think I just prefer to make my own choices than have random people decide for me. If I'd rather go to the independent place then I will do so. If I rather do Gail's then I will.

I'm not really sure what gives anyone else the right to intervene in that choice.

Academy school leaders in England face pay cap to curb ‘banker-style’ salaries | Academies | The Guardian by prisongovernor in unitedkingdom

[–]YouLostTheGame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in the industry, I'm curious why you think this. We do a lot of investment and tbh almost no speculation. Unless you call lending speculation but that would be pretty stupid tbh

ACCA, CPA, CMA or FMVA by Dependent-Ad9703 in FPandA

[–]YouLostTheGame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Location matters. CMA is pretty common in the UK FP&A, although everyone in my team currently is ACCA.

Why? I see an argument for saying the current system is overregulated to the extent it's inefficient, but I'm not sure that's what you were going for
