I was looking at this quora question[1] in which an individual is 23 and makes 300k on Wall Street as a developer. I've heard many times how miserable the financial sector is, but I'd probably be willing to bite the bullet for a couple years at that rate. Information about the jobs there seems scarce, though. Anyone on HN have experience in the financial sector? What sort of work do you do, what kind of work environment is it, what was the pay like, and was it worth it?[1] https://www.quora.com/I-just-turned-23-and-make-around-300k-working-on-Wall-Street-Could-I-make-this-in-Silicon-Valley-if-I-was-looking-to-make-the-switch
