I'm aiming for Quant development since I read quantjob.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-to-avoid-quantdeveloper-black-hole.html

Software dev is less about enjoyable hacking, and more about "housekeeping", or a million yak-shaving data management tasks that you are paid to care about.

I'd sooner do something else that merely involves software, but has some other domain of knowledge, and keep the majority of my coding as off-work hobbying.
