Can you just do us a favor and accept there's no looking back you made a choice you live with it. All that time you spend complaining on what ifs is stupid. Make the best of your current situation regardless of if you were doing banking or mfpe you would've been a cog slaving away for a set wage for the next 2 years after school in a chicken box chasing the next prestigious thing (startup or hedgefund). I hope this helps you understand to not complain and seriously reflect inwards of your values.
