I went and worked on Wall Street. Good experience and the work could be interesting but honestly got to the point where I wasn’t willing to sacrifice my life to the extent necessary to stick it out. Heading back to tech in a more business oriented role that I think will be better for me, and money is the exact same for now. It won’t ramp up as fast but I do think the lifetime upside is similar in compensation and immeasurably better in health and happiness.

- b20000 5y agonever thought that would be enough. what did you exactly do day to day in your wall street job?
- formercoder 5y agoI was on the private side doing m&a, debt and equity advisory. MBA is a common path into the role.
