A short poem

“Don’t worry,” they said, “they’re just bright prepaid cards”
“Don’t worry,” they said, “just tech in our backyards”

“Don’t worry,” they said, “they’re not making a penny”
“Don’t worry,” they said, “their growth won't be steady”

“Don’t worry,” they said, “no business in sight”
“Don’t worry,” they said, “no lending in flight”

“Don’t worry,” they said, “just UK’s small thrill”
But worry they might, for disruptors’ great skill.

💼 Just saw a LinkedIn job ad for a high-level bank role.

The only skill they need? Microsoft PowerPoint😂

Thought we'd shaken off the meme that banking is 90% presenting, 10% pretending to do actual work📊

And another one I’m overqualified for!🤪

I can be one of the "10 Influential Leaders Defining the Future of Fintech, 2024".

...for just $3000

Publications like "The Silicon Leaders" and "CIOLOOK", who keep offering this to me, and ignoring my "No" responses, can go do one.
