Things are getting interesting, it was just a matter of time:
http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2015/02/27/j-p-morgan-goes-hunting-for-disruptors-and-bitcoin-experts/Attention disruptors: You might not be interested in J.P. Morgan Chase but it is interested in you.
A recent job posting on its website highlighted the challenge facing Wall Street firms looking for cutting-edge technologists: They need people who aren’t eager to work for them.
The job title is a typical corporate bromide: “new product development product delivery manager-Associate/VP.”
The description is far more interesting: “You care about disruption and have opinions on the future of banking, the payments system, and how to improve upon our existing financial infrastructure. You have an opinion on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and you are probably ambivalent about the prospect of working for a large financial institution.”
The bank even sounded almost apologetic about its size: “Sure, we are part of a large financial services firm operating in a highly-regulated environment, and that means we are not as flexible or agile as your average company – let alone a startup.”
Disruptors shouldn’t forget to submit twitter handles with their resumes.
