Which one? My dad has worked for quite a few (mainly JP Morgan) but he worked on clearinghouse stuff though, boring as f*** but it pays handsomely.

Check your rep, I'd rather not say in public, since I signed an agreement that I would not disclose in public. Even when applying for other jobs, I have to write "large financial institution" on my resume.

I wrote this in my first post, as an edit, but I'll write it here too in case people miss it:

Obviously the black rectangle over the child's face is part of the editing, but that could easily be done in Paint. After doing some comparisons, the most striking thing about this photo is the number of different camera signatures. I also noticed that the "GIMP" signature is present in all photos, edited or unedited, so that's probably a false alarm.

From here:

The "subsamp match" column indicates that the type of chroma subsampling used in the image matches the type associated with the signature entry in the database.

In general, the subsampling should match for the signature to be a reliable match.

The list of cameras and software under the signature search are all ones that have the same signature as the one identified in the image. It means that those other cameras and software tools could have also produced images with the same signature, not that someone used multiple cameras or software programs to produce the image.

However, with regards to your question: "is the photo digital"... By this I think you mean that someone took a photo with a digital camera of a scene versus taking a photo with a digital camera of a printed/film photo. One cannot tell this by the signatures alone.

I guess the thing to do is try to find a picture without the rectangle and see if it was edited. But yeah, several cameras seems weird.

See the edit.

My posts in this thread are, by the way, just my wild speculations, rather than "I know what I'm doing, and this is how it is."

How did you get into that end of the business btw? I'm planning to work for an investment bank, but it will probably have to be law-related since that's what my degree will be in (ideally I'd like to try my hand at being a prop trader). Unfortunately all of the trading jobs, especially outside of commodity trading, seem to be going to quants.

Were you a programmer or in management?

Do you think it would be worth doing an MBA after I've finished my law degree?

My dad isn't very helpful when it comes to job advice lol, he just says, "I can do the work, so they pay me to do it". He never really comes into contact with the trading side of the business, or even with designing the derivative instruments, just with processing the transactions.

If the sun angle is from behind, the view of the shadow would be blocked by the kid. Then again, the guy's eyes look to be in shadow...Most likely the sun is pretty much overhead, although obviously it's behind clouds.

Unless I'm missing something, wouldn't it be possible that the kid is not really dead, and the two are just posing?

I was recommended by a job search agency.

Were you a programmer or in management? Programmer for a while, then QA manager.

Do you think it would be worth doing an MBA after I've finished my law degree? MBA is useful, but I just have a computer science degree and a few certifications.

What were the opportunities like for moving sideways within the corporate structure, so to speak? E.G. moving from being an in-house lawyer to a trader?

I only thought about the MBA because firstly it would be a good stepping stone to jobs in consulting if working for a bank didn't work out, secondly a law degree alone will only qualify me for a narrow range of duties at a bank and thirdly MBA courses are a great place to network. I don't imagine most traders have MBAs.

It seem the sun angle is from behind the guy is taller his shadow should be strong and sharper, i think the view of the shadow should be over the kid and to his right, check the shadow of the stones in the background.

Also check the reflection in the white guy's neck and face seems inconsistent.

I am not sure whats the model of that firearm but i think it should case visible damage, there is not blood in the picture.

[uchetrip]

It's photoshopped, plain and simple. Just some prick with bad taste in humor

[broksaksaak]

whatever it is, the guy is just pathetic. He could pose play piano, paint a picture or cut bushes but he is posing with a shot (real or not) dead body of a black kid, what a pathetic miserable piece of shit he is.

I am not defending him by any means, but the way the Boers, not that I know he is a Boer (he could be English or Cape Dutch), are being treated by the ANC gov't, with the approval of most Blacks, would be enough to generate a reaction like this.

Imagine living in a farm miles from anywhere with the constant threat of being hacked to death and seeing your loved ones killed and losing your property because some drug addled Black thugs are looking for a thrill. It isn't a joke out there, they are in a state of war in some places; there will be a genocide if we don't watch out.

I dont know the context of the photo and the photo itself does not show any context, leaving it to the recipient. How should I know that this happy man on the picture is a suffering victim of black terror and shooting black kids is his desperate attempt to cry for help- it looks like he is having fun.

He probably is happy, of course given the possibility this has been photoshopped he could be entirely innocent; perhaps there was originally a gazelle there or something and someone cropped that out and replaced it with a picture of a Black kid to get the hunter in trouble?

Normal people don't shoot others unless they are in danger or are extremely angry. Dehumanisation of Blacks did go on in SA, but it wasn't so extreme that most of them would think nothing of killing Blacks; if this guy did kill a child he is either insane, evil or vengeful.

[temansertewek]

Is it me or is there something unnatural about his right hand? It looks as though he could have been resting on an animal (lion for example) which was subsequently cropped out.

[nofkayalk]

The guy looks like Janos. Was this why he was banned?

Me and my dark humor.

I bet it's fake. They gave a kid a few bucks to lie down. Yeah, it's sick.

[teentodiefows]

To be fair, you probably wouldn't get banned from this forum if you posted a picture like this.

[reervieltnope]

I think its fake, it's a black humor joke.

Oh a pun, I'm feeling it
