UK firms remain wary despite elevated recruitment figures

Sod's Law...don't ever change! You truly are a breath of fresh air. The pathetic spectacle of academic genius hurling itself at City Firms is car crash tv at its very worst; like watching religious fanatics throwing themselves off mountains to show their devotion in the vain hope of advancement. There is genuine talent in the City (and we as a nation ought to be proud of that internationally recognised talent) but, for the most part, your future at a City Firm depends on: - whether you were born with a chin; and/or - whether you can morph into a person with no chin because your sperm and egg donors sent you to school with chinless wonders; and/or - whether you are related (by blood, backstairs association or failed pregnancy test) to an equity partner; and/or - whether you win the coin toss over whether to buy another ivory back scratcher or to make you redundant because room needs to be being made for one of the above Start your own firm and start the trend that will sweep this garbage away once and for all (and as for the body of City lawyers targeted... well, like a cartoon villain, you can always delude yourselves that one man/woman cannot make a difference)
