Just saw the sheet with FAANG/IBcomps here and got depressed with my decision to not major in CS but I’m just a freshman. For the record, it was like 3.7m (if you don’t go to B school in Finance) vs 3.5m over 10 years. WSO wouldn’t let me link the sheet but someone else can here. Target school BTW so swapping majors is ez and I’m thinking about it. What do you guys think,
The biggest argument I’ve seen against majoring in CS on this forum has just been the idea that you have to be smart/good at math. I actually am. 1590 SAT, AIME in high school and stuff. Took everything up to DifEQ in math. I fit in more with the nerd than with the frat bro but I was more interested in Finance so I went for it. Should I just swap to CS and not suffer working twice as much for 200k more over 10 years. Or does buyside seriously change comp trajectory. Once again, I’m way more interested in Finance than tech but I understand that it’s glorified and I don’t want to be miserable.
