The threat of PIPs are no joke, and I feel for the people suffering from them, but in comparison to how things were in the post-Lehman Brothers sell side, I feel that I am able to live with more dignity.
The idea that you need to be good at math is pretty exaggerated, as anyone with proper math training will feel like their math skills are total overkill. Before some of my investments made my NW skyrocket and made me stop worrying about money, I was pretty resentful of the fact that statistics and computer science degrees seemed to get my friends much further in their careers.
It's very sad to study esoteric abstract nonsense and then have to struggle with explaining some really simple linear algebra the rare occasion you have to use it.
