what constitutes decent?
Something with no coworkers and a very cold indoor work environment where I’m allowed to wear headphones. Preferably a night job. Something with the same start time and the same schedule, decent pay, overtime available and that I can do for the rest of my life. I don’t care about anything else.
Actuary or software engineering.
Then transfer quicker to quant.
Or go remote and travel the world more these jobs dont give a f about you and in the end aren’t even worth all this bs for. They’re all full of sh*t tbh.
Or pilot sounds fun.
I would’ve done a computer science or statistics degree and worked in software engineering or an actuarial role. The pay is high and stress can be relatively low.
Luckily, this is still an option for me since I’m young and my company has tuition reimbursement. I just have to man up and start taking the math classes at community college here soon.
Wouldn’t change a thing. I’d go into Credit Risk.
I don’t know how good you are at math, but market makers and hft are always looking for young talent. Pay is great, bonuses are even greater, while hours are less than ib and equivalent. You just have fo be very good at math and mental math. There are websites for it that train you for the job if you are interested.
Anything client facing with $ KPIs
I’m 27, started in audit 2018 and now work in Risk Consulting at Deloitte UK. Have thought about putting in more graft to move into BB or more central finance.
I already can’t stomach the levels of dishonesty and petty selfishness in consulting. Part of it is probably the culture where I’m at, but I think the wider culture just doesn’t agree with me.
I’m taking a year out and planning to start again picking up programming from my Maths degree to try and get towards software engineering or at least data engineering work. Lots of my friends did this straight out, have a genuine specialism, sense of achievement with their work and put up with less bullshit management in the workplace.
So yeah, software engineering.
Anything broad that covers many areas, industries etc. don’t pigeon hole yourself.
Id be a builder, I hate the stress and office life is destroying my health and fitness but I have student loans, need to make all those years of uni count and I cant be fucked starting a new career after all the years of covid dicking me around
I’d be in the medical research field. Science has always been my first love and, by dint, mathematics would be my mistress. To be able to put those two together and make people healthy would be a dream come true. I wouldn’t be the pharmacist. I’d be the guy the pharmacist came to when he needed something new and lifesaving to dispense to the sick and infirmed.
I definitely would have taken an offer I had with Deloitte over where I began (actuarial software/consulting). But the offer came a day after I sent in my signed letter and I thought it would be a bad look. Shoulda looked out for myself more
Corporate banking
That’s going to depend on a lot of things but probably FP&A.
Definitely a trust fund kid.
