>>6082316>Global Equity investment manager appearanceThe ambient office environment is actually very close, I have definitely been to many conference / meeting rooms with that decor! A few small details...
-Nobody senior in London who works in finance wears belts; we all have side adjusters. I am not joking this is genuinely true, ask your tailor or look this up. Venture capitalists used to wear some generic jeans, shirt and brown jacket ensemble, all investors in London were aghast at the jeans. I mentioned before at the Snapchat IPO roadshow in London I personally witnessed Evan Spiegel come onto stage shivering in this lanky gawky bedroom tshirt, before hundreds of besuited investors, it was very disturbing
-Obviously, in an office, we have Bloomberg, usually 2-3 screen setup. So the laptop looks wrong, it should be a Bloomberg terminal. Traders or buyside dealers have 6 screens mounted in an x-type brace. In meeting rooms it used to be very large panoramic wall-to-wall installed CSCO telepresence type screens, no idea what it is now after pandemic / working from home / back to office etc.
-The face of the gentleman looks fairly plausible, he could be a fund manager but he looks slightly more welcoming and friendlier than expected, he appears more like a sellside / broker type. Many fund managers are bald and obese and short, but others can be super athletic and handsome, some participate in a lot of competitive events like marathons or cycling or sailing etc you must endlessly mention the refrain "for charity" etc over and over again. Also many fund managers travel a lot it is like they are permanently on holiday either skiing or whatever, so a slightly tanned look is not uncommon.
