At the time starting salaries were about 30% higher in financial sector. If I look at students I knew from those years, most of the engineers have plateaued early with no way to move up in to management. Without seniority rules they just seem more vulnerable to office politics and project managers (the bane of every organization imo). |

One thing though, it seems that Japanese companies don't really understand technology. I worked for a couple and they are still using dated POS systems and analog switching for their machines. The latter is the main cause of man-hours lost when a part jammed, you have to reset the entire fucking switchboard AGAIN. Quote:
Would have went back to being an insurance agent if it was alot more interesting. Money is good, but the job is boring and there is way too much liability held. Quote:
And who are these people who knew? Engineers who were hired to program and work the system. Quote:
I think you know the rest.

About the evidences, I'll gather as many stuff from Kyo-Ani sometimes later. In the mean time, here's one from Psycho-Pass : ^This one is clever. Old spelling being there really cracked me up Kyo-Ani has always liked doing things on their terms, but being hipster in referencing Indonesia is among the more intriguing ones. Do they have any Indonesian in their staff or something ?

Never heard about "Tjap Ajam". The normal assumption would be they just wondered randomly for something Indonesian (if the aim was that specific) and ran into a picture of a retro product. But who knows.

Also, I think Engineers might be a poor choice to program financial systems, as unlike normal "mechanical risk", "financial risk" cannot be directly mathematically modelled. Mechanical faults can be predicted with a degree of mathematical certainty, but financial faults cannot (if they could be, the financial crisis would never have happened). Banking needs to be more about due diligence, and the likelihoods for a default are often down to difficult to quantify human factors. Their mathematical work gave them a false sense of confidence.

What you're describing sounds a lot more like how American plants were (and often still are) run, where the guys on the bottom didn't really have any say in how things were run, and were just expected to obey (as they were too "stupid" to do anything else). |

Also, if a building collapse, it's easy to point fingers and bring someone to justice. Not so much with a financial product. I'd say there's a lot less moral hazard in Engineering then in Finance. |
