Como se constrói uma carreira no mercado financeiro diante de transições expressivas na política, economia e tecnologia? A trajetória do nosso 2º entrevistado da 1ª temporada do Humans of Faria Lima é uma síntese perfeita das movimentações do mercado nas últimas décadas. Roberto Campos Neto, ex-presidente do Banco Central e atual vice-chairman do Nubank, percorre sua história desde a sua formação no exterior e o início como trader, passando pelas crises de mercados emergentes no Bozano, pela construção da tesouraria do Santander e pela experiência à frente do Banco Central do Brasil, até a...

And so, it's very clear that the problem of Banco do Brasil is not the Central Bank, folks. If Brazil wants to help the Central Bank today, it can strengthen the Central Bank, because in the middle of this huge institutional confusion we live in, if there is one institution that has done the correct technical work, it is the Central Bank. I wanted to be Roberto Campos Neto, not Neto Roberto Campos, right? So, the reason why I chose to work at Bzano, and I had offers from others, was exactly because there you entered a process called 'new talents'. You were a number, you took a test, and your placement depended on your result. And then one day he said to me: 'No, tomorrow a new treasurer is coming, you could get ahead and such.' I said: 'No, wait until tomorrow.' Then one day I came in, sat in the place where the treasurer used to sit, and they asked: 'Who is the new treasurer?' I said: 'It's me.' And then I asked the bank at the time to go back a bit to do trading activity, because as you go up, you distance yourself a bit. And so I went back to trading activity with that more junior team, and it was a super good year. I think it was one of the best years for the treasury there. And then it fit in well. I had a good conversation at the time with Davi. I was looking at other things too, obviously. I didn't know I was going to work at the bank until the very last moment, because I was looking at many things, but it ended up fitting with what I believed. Take from one place, put in another. So, as the marginal cost of moving money became very low and people started using social media much more as a source of information, you began to have an association between media and social, let's say, in movements that can generate, let's say, changes in bank deposits. No, I see, I keep thinking, my son who will always surf in the pool, you're going to have an entire generation that never surfed in the sea, right? How is that? So, even the sea lost its job to technology, right?
