Precise reason I took the finance pill.

Pic related tells it all. Finance generally overpays for STEM workers (granted, they also over-expect and won't hire anyone except for the top). If you have a STEM degree and you are actually talented then you can make big bucks. If you like STEM then you can go for a risk management route, but if you absolutely hate STEM then you can go for an investment banking position where all you need to know is how excel works and how to work with big money.

This is the STEM /FINANCEPILL/ General. Discuss:

>math applied to investment banking, commercial banking, insurance, and hedge funds
>mathematicians and scientists known for their work in investment banking, commercial banking, insurance, and hedge funds.
>the journey from STEM to high finance

The /FINANCEPILL/ is defined as:
The realization that academia is absolutely fucked and mismanaged by the administrative class who are at fault for all the shit going on at universities but regardless pay themselves 6 figures or more while paying their professors minimum wage. Therefore the only way to get properly compensated for your intelligence and effort is to go to industry. For the more abstract subjects like physics and mathematics, this often means becoming a quant.
