Waters Wavelength Podcast Episode 66: Technologists & Film Portrayals
Dan and Anthony talk about how technologists—and traders—are portrayed in TV and on the big screen, and just how accurate those portrayals are.
The guys open things up talking about how the Waters Rankings are now open for entry and describe the (very easy) process for getting listed (1:00). Next, they delve into how Hollywood portrays technologists and traders on TV and in film; whether these characters are accurate to real life; and what that means for talent acquisition (3:00). Finally, they talk about the films that they’re most excited to go and see (22:00).
