COVID Variants extending WFH, should I leave for tech?
Long story short, I'm working on the trading floor and have significant programming skills.
I HATE WFH and see myself in a matrix style labor cycle if I'm not on the floor exchanging ideas. It takes all the fun out of a trading job and not to mention management wants to underpay due to "COVID". Furthermore, all the salary raises recently have made my comp waaay below market.
Since variants are extending WFH with no end in sight, I'm thinking of going to tech since I'm staring at a computer all day anyways. Might as well get raise and a nice name on my resume.
Thoughts?
Highly situational and depends on the type of programming you are capable of, what you do now vs what you could do in tech. From a pure compensation perspective, the type of firm is more important the type of industry. Top hedge funds and FAANG are going to pay better than a run-of-the-mill bank or fledgling startup. If you want to stay in finance, you could just find another tech-heavy role there as there is plenty of demand at the moment.
