I'm genuinely not being horrible here - I am just curious.
I just realised that I don't actually know what "working in the city" means. People tend to just refer to it as if you should know.
I'm guessing it is well paid, and the city is London, possibly it involves banking, but isn't actually working behind a counter taking in cheques etc.
If you work in the city, when you get to work, what do you do? Do you sit doing spreadsheets, or have meetings getting people to give you contracts, or what?
I understand most jobs, even if I couldn't actually do them, but I honestly have no idea here - if I had to pretend it was my job, I would put a suit on and walk about with a folder in my hand, but that (or it's variant of wearing a high vis jacket or overall and holding a scrap of paper) is my fall back "pretend to know what you are doing" thing.
Not that I pretend to do these things, except in my head. Obv.
