> the kinds of jobs that pay well also have a tendency to require complete focus. They consume your attention, your life. That's probably true at the seven-digit level, but most of my tech friends who are in finance work no more than a 9 hour day, 5 days a week. The only exception is Citadel, though this situation may be characteristic of the Chicago finance industry rather than NY, London, or Singapore. Several of my friends made the shift to that industry partially for the money but mainly to get off of the long hours and travel of consulting gigs, the gaming industry, and small companies.
