You must work in finance.

I don't work in finance but it's a common enough conclusion to draw. It's not hard to agree with your parent comment.

I said essentially the same thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12771478

I most assuredly do not work in finance.

Which industries do nice people get promoted in?

[gjolund]

Medicine.

Not really. You'll find plenty of nice doctors and nurses but hospital administration is the same political jerkfest as anywhere else. Maybe worse because the "nice guy" doctors and nurses are less likely to fight back. Also the doctors and nurses who want to get things done learn pretty quick to stop being so "nice".

Same happens with education.

You do not have to be a callous jackass...
