Working for hedge fund here: nope, I don't feel like I am improving society in any way.

  No judgement intended in asking, but does the contribution question factor into you deciding to work for a hedge fund? If it does, what keeps you there? I'm curious because I've had a few coworkers come from hedge funds and they left for a lot of reasons.

    Sure no problem. No the contribution question was left aside. I went to work for a hedge fund because I wanted to live in NYC and go through the immigration process easily (I'm French). It turned out that the people I work with are very smart and super nice. So overall I don't feel like contributing much, but I kind of sorted the money issue and I work on challenging problems with a bunch of smart guys, so I feel fine.
