> I initially discarded financial as I assumed it would be long hours and legacy code (and I don't dig suits) but a recent oconversation mention that it may be normal hours (37.5h/week), very decent pay and benefits and interesting technology. Is that true?

You can end up in finance doing SAP integration, spending most of your day thinking about the quickest way to get fired... or, you can end up in finance writing distributed real-time software for high-frequency trading, solving cutting edge technical problems while also raking in cash. The choice is yours.

(I mention this only because I once applied for a London based job. The description was almost exactly what I just wrote, with a salary of 150,000 GBP annually. Unfortunately I didn't get the job, but hey, worth a shot :)

I may need to check those offers in more detail, I just wonder what kind of life-work balance there will be :)
