Best Field for Ambitious Go-getters
I have recently started working as an intern in risk management at one of the largest European banks, and have just completed a Master's degee in a highly quantitative subject (not directly related to economics/finance) with a strong IT background at a very important European university. Brutally speaking, I would like to pursue a career which can make me climb the ladder as fast as possible and earn a lot of money. I've always seen "doing what you love for a living" as a privilege I cannot afford, and I don't care about the quality of my life.
I have done some networking in my bank, and the general impression is that, after the crisis, trading, even algorithmic, is no more a good way to make money for "obsessed" people who know some math, being strangled by regulations. Everybody with whom I talked see it as an unsafe path. On the other hand, many have mentioned M&A as an excellent field for go-getters.
Is this true? Nowadays, even if there ain't no such thing as a free lunch, what is the "safest" way to become rich and powerful ASAP?
If you don't care about the quality of your life, why do you want to become rich, as fast and safe as possible?
