Recruiter called me to present me a job in fintech.

Arguing about how work standards are important and that task oriented work culture is great.

....

Recruiter (can’t find any argument): All people work in office. It’s financial institution they need to protect privacy.

Me: AWS on last summit presented show case of whole bank from EU in their cloud infrastructure.

....

And we argued for at least 10 minutes where me was talking about losing time and task oriented workplace with specified goals and listening about how brilliant people are there and how much they believe in opensource.

I started believing they want me to go to work to indoctrinate me and make me corporate pig.

Hell no I am to old for that.

    I work in a fintech. Our stack is nearly entirely AWS. I work from home most days. I work flexible hours. That's not unusual at all.

    Anyone that says "oohh it's fintech so must be corporate office with no flexibility" is just talking bollocks.

    I also work in finance now.
    Great pay, 100% remote, semi-awful code, very boring work.

    Worked in fintech, fully remote, fully autonomous. Unless it includes direct hardware, no one should even care where you are... If you can't entrust someone to work autonomously, you don't hire them.
    Just be aware, there's a disproportionate amount of wantrapenours and posers in the fintech space, giving motivational bullshit speeches and false promises. (Forex and crypto are notorious for this)

    I worked in fintech for a bit but I don't think that's relevant here.

    You aren't going to get anywhere trying to tell a recruiter that the employer needs to change their policy. If you are only willing to accept remote work, just tell them that.

    I might got a little rusty. Was not looking actively for anything for past three years.

    Why argue with the messenger? Like you weren’t interested from the word go, and the recruiter made no points that enticed. All you did was waste your time and someone else’s. Not like you can get the recruiter to magically rework the whole organisation to be how you want it or even how companies that were established in the last decade do it.

    @nikmanG Man chill and don’t be rude. It was phone conversation so I don’t think anyone got lots of time wasted. I didn’t even called just answered random number.
    Talking about terms and conditions is called negotiation I can tell what the fuck I want and need protect myself before wasting time and going to some stupid place filled with jerks like you so go back and eat your ice cream.

    @vane as compared to calling people in office corporate pigs? I’m just pointing out you said you argued with the recruiter about things they couldn’t change.

    @nikmanG How you know they couldn’t ?
    Being passive is worst thing you can do. Maybe 1st will not change but how do you know 10th won’t ?
    It’s part of human nature to question establishment and point something is wrong.

    I am a corporate pig. The pay and perks are amazing. Sure, beaurocracy is painful, but i find that the benefits far outweigh the cons that can be mentioned.

    OAN it ain't exciting but you will get tittles that boost up your cv in a lot of cool ways.

    Not telling you to change your views or anything, you probably know this all already. Just wanted to contribute to the topic at hand.
