Why is that so many people have told me I should go into technology rather than finance? I'm completing a computer related major at a target school and have been intending to go for investment banking.
If I can get a bulge bracket investment banking job, how is that not better than a tech job (even at a place like google) job where I would be making max 60% of what I make investment banking, and where the salary starts to level off around $0.25m/year (unless you go into management) whereas investment banking salaries can run into the seven figures per year.
The only argument I see against investment banking is the hours/week worked, which I am fine with.
Any thoughts?
