“Finance. I move money around for rich people/companies. Basically, I made friends with people more successful than me, and they kinda just dragged me along for the ride.”

“Also finance. Imagine doing the same regular office job you currently do but for more money and less patient people.

I worked in data engineering, then advertising, and then healthcare. Now it’s finance, and it’s the same work, but the pay is 30% higher, and the office has a beer fridge and ping-pong tables.

I get recruiters messaging me with opportunities fairly regularly, and honestly, I don’t see myself leaving finance because nobody else offers anything close.”
