That's definitely true in London for example. In software a job in a bank pays ~30% more. Fang companies pay on par or more in some cases but they have higher entry criteria. So if you want to buy a house, have a family, finance is a safe route.

I work in an investment bank in IT and have colleagues from top universities doing boring jobs, at least in my view.
