@intparent @ucbalumnus The ones who went into finance (often after not so successful science career) seem to enjoy it. Not only they do not mind making two more digits in income compared to those successfully staying in science/tech careers, but also they enjoy solving challenging interesting problems in finance, being appreciated for their quantitative skills, and working with extremely smart peers from different backgrounds. All of their analytical, problem solving, & risk taking aptitudes serve them well in success in finance.
