Amazon to Hedge Fund?

Working at Amazon is cool and I like it. Lots of good benefits in my org and it's chill. Comp is decent and my co workers are nice. However our products aren't ground breaking and I'm really passionate about finance. Thinking of trying to switch once I hit SDE2 (1 YOE) in the next year to a company like Citadel, Blackrock, etc... 1) I don't think I'd hold up well as a quant. I'm excited to solve problems and create money for a company but it sounds very high stress. Is a SWE treated decent there if not a quant? 2) How is compensation/benefits for non-quant devs? 3) How hard to get in relative to the big4? Anything I should do besides leetcode to prepare if it's something I want? Thanks in advance!
