Good luck! I started with quant research and was successful at it before moving over to data science. It's a lot of fun! The technical challenges are more difficult too. Part of it is the area. I'm in the SF/Bay Area. The other part is schooling as the industry is a bit more ivory. I got my first tech job when I was 17.
