As we move into the millennium’s second decade, a new genre of career has emerged, through [[LinkedIn]]’s oily midwifery: the ''[[panel discusser]]''. These are people who spend most of their working lives attending, moderating or speaking on [[panel discussion]]s. Now, for a junior partner in an [[offshore law firm]] it might be a quick way of burnishing credentials within the community of corporate agency and trust services professionals.

So thought-provoking!” | No topic is too arcane, no minutia of the regulatory landscape too wretched, no panel-member selfie too prostrating of one’s self-esteem to be beyond the siren call of the [[LinkedIn]] timeline, to which they will upload awkward selfies several times a week, tagging co-panellists as they gurn awkwardly on a low stage in front of thirty bored associate directors. “Great [[panel discussion]] today about the [[EMIR refit]]!
