A turn up for the books. Here's hoping she gives up trying to run anything and takes up drag-themed charity work full time.

I know it's common in interviews to try and blag a few new ideas for clients/prospects, but this takes the p.

This generation of tech-bros are absolutely revolting, absolutely horrible people.

Seems they have bigger problems. Anyone with a revolut card perhaps worth withdrawing now.

What, the CFO resigning because of money laundering allegations?

I've been approached for a role at Revolut - I'm hoping that my ability to be a cunt of the highest colour puts me in good stead for the interview.

And that it makes them overlook my utter lack of qualification and suitability for the role. I mean - head of UK banking? Have you read my CV? It screams slacker.

Chest bump the interviewer as your first interaction with them.

surely it's all about the bro butt slap

give us a job. I can be a cunt too and I've got fintechbrocunt experience

I suggest you go full Jean-Ralphio Saperstein

To put it bluntly — it’s about getting shit done and owning what you do.

I have no experience in this.

Someone on reddit pointed out this line:

Free dinners with Deliveroo

Translates to: you better prepare to spend your evenings at work because fuck you.

And apparently, the salary isn't even that high that this would appear tempting.

Do you know how much the salary is?

Head of Banking (Bank CEO) - UK

Seems to be missing a disclaimer

Not actually a bank in the UK, we keep it all at Lloyds

Nope. This is entirely second-hand information, but what I took away from it is that the salary isn't high enough for someone with the experience / abilities they want to put up with their shit.

I'm a lazy git, personally, so any of these "work yourself to the bone for a few years" things have never appealed to me anyway, no matter the salary. In that context, the dinners thing is a huge red flag for me.

It would also be useful if she stops the nonsense around abortion / LGBT marriage in NI having nothing to do with human rights and says legislation must be passed.

Mays tigerprint stilettos made quite the impression too, so your suggestion may work well too :)

Reminds me of someone who went to work at Investec and found he had an en-suite shower in his office. Because you will never get to go home.

I think they do have a banking licence now (although fuck knows how that will work post-brexit).

Not a UK banking licence though. The job is to get them one.

[Edit: Given 'Brexit' I think you meant a Euro bank licence. Although as far as I know they don't operate under it]

Yep, they have some random Eastern Europe one which they're using to roll out over Europe. Obviously that may or may not work for the UK.

Grayling under pressure to quit, apparently.

Not a chance. I honestly think he could slap a kid and keep his job. It’s quite remarkable that he’s so inept and yet seemingly untouchable.

Sounds great for bike commuting!

He's the proverbial useful idiot.

His fucking up costs the theoretical public whilst enriching private enterprise.

Isn't this just Tory ideology in practice? As such, he's not fucking up at all-and even if he quits he'll get plenty of plum directorships from probation and transport companies repaying their dues

I honestly think he could slap a kid and keep his job.

Didn't he do this with a car door or was that someone else?
