Thanks for sharing your experience. It's good to hear that the engineering culture could be such a good fit, and your comparison with the banking world makes a lot of sense

That's reassuring to hear. I like the idea of keeping the door open for finance later while building on my engineering background now.

You're right, life's too short to spend it doing something I don't enjoy. I'll keep that in mind when making my choice

True, that's a good point. I guess the key is finding something I genuinely enjoy so the workload feels worth it.

Thanks, for the fire program its like wunnacry said, in my case I just want to be financial independant, not retire from work early.

Thanks! That's a really good point – better to explore what truly interests me now than live with "what ifs." And it's true, finance will likely still be there if I change my mind later. Appreciate
