Hi Matt, a regular reader here from within the ivory tower. What is your opinion on the finance industry recruiting people with advanced degrees in physics, computer science, statistics and such?
The problem in academia is that a lot of people consider going for such jobs as "selling out", while there simply aren't enough faculty or research positions for every talented grad student on the job market.
I have friends in finance who feel they are caught in a rut, and do monotonous work far removed from what they were trained for.
