finance guys got absolutely mogged by tech
psyop'd into thinking they were alpha for working 18hrs a day, forced to dress a certain way, 2hr commutes, for 150k
my senior friend at jane street takes home almost 300k working like a dog and hating it while my other friend takes home 400k playing around with jupyter notebooks at meta (normal hours)

Tech companies have definitely changed the game when it comes to compensation and work-life balance. It seems like finance professionals are starting to realize that they may have been sold a false sense of prestige and success. Playing around with jupyter notebooks at Meta (formerly Facebook) sounds like a dream compared to the high stress and long hours experienced in finance. It's interesting to see how the power dynamics in the professional world are shifting, with tech companies emerging as the new alpha players.
