[QUOTE="PepeQuant, post: 238945, member: 24746"] Honestly... you never become rich by working for someone else.. it is the least efficient/most pathetic way to become rich. This is the same for quant, doctor, software dev or wut so ever any other things. However, the purpose getting a stable (or maybe not that stable for quant) job is to get the cash flow coming in, which gives you the freedom and (little bit of) experience to discover things that you might be able to do it on your own. Of cuz it involves certain factor of risks. But hey, you gotta pay the risk premium if you want bigger payoff. Alternatively, you can invest your own money (housing market, stock, cryto currencies etc). Most of the time (at least for me), these side dishes yields much greater profit. All the rumors you get from the internet that quants make big buck is simply false advertising, unless you are James Simons or D.E Shaw. The 0.0000001% of this industry. Well~~ you can become that rich anyway if you are 0.0000001% of any industry.. [/QUOTE]
