       Ask HN: Why are employees in technical roles in financial services
       discounted?
        
       Received feedback from interview at GitHub: "culturally bad fit-
       person is a developer at a bank. Not a real developer." This isn't
       the first time I got similar comments, and it appears to be a
       pattern among technology companies. Why does this attitude exist?

       | Not that banking s/w is perfect, but to imply "not a real
       | developer" because was in Fintech, bank side, is stupid.
