The life of an e-commerce manager at a magic circle firm may not, on the surface, seem that exciting. However, it certainly had lots of perks. For me it was the small things – like walking into a building with tapestries that would not look out of place in the British Museum; or the selection of herbal beverages in each meeting room that would baffle even a tea sage of the Song dynasty; and then there were the server rooms. Those sterile palaces held a fascination for me.
Each time I would pass through security at the Linklaters server room, I could not help but develop a slight James Bond complex. This place was immaculate and had been designed to intelligently protect its contents against all sorts of natural and unnatural threats. And it was big. Yes, it was a big room hosting big computers that stored big amounts of important emails and documents for big deals. And inside this big room, I was not such a small man.
