I liked these in particular:
Derivatives trader: 'The trouble is, regulators are idiots'
Joris speaks to a trader about City short-termism, high pay, the excitement of recent years and why he now wants a way out

Executive coach: 'Finance is an amoral world, bordering on the immoral'
A psychologist compares the 'twisted minds' of some executives to those of paedophiles he has tried to treat in the past

Voices of finance: employee relations manager at a major bank
'I do none of the fun things. I don't hire people, I don't give bonuses. I tell people they have lost their jobs'
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...ations-manager
Former investment banker: 'I saw many people cry'
An ex-investment banker at a major bank tells Joris about redundancies, the recent crisis and Stockholm syndrome
