Honestly quant finance has a lot of really interesting problems in. That XKCD about "why would I want to be paid lots to work on fascinating problems with the brightest people in the world" is… actually kind of true.
- giantg2 6y agoMy company basically restricts those sort of positions for business people that learn Python and R. They are very hesitant to promote IT people into that type of role. I'm getting tired of implementing/coding other people's solutions or just copying legacy processes into new tech. It would be nice to actually work on the problem and the processes that would most effectively solve them.
