>>11217044Well, when I realized what you did (that I didn't want to slave away for 4 extra years in grad school) I did just start applying online and then wait for the interviews. You should definitely do that, everywhere from banks to hedge funds have online application procedures that you can fill.
>Also am i better off trying to get into finance or tech?Well, from what I know finance is the eternal winner in the compensation department, but it is true that right now due to the big tech bubble, you can unironically 200k, even 300k starting at Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook. If you know programming you should definitely try that but here's the difference, many technical finance positions will unironically say "it doesn't matter if you don't know finance, we'll teach you", even hedge funds. Google will absolutely not say "it doesn't matter if you don't know programming". If you want to get into Google you better already be top 0.1% building servers and apps. And if you are going for a non-California position then you'll make less than in finance so might as well go into finance. That said, when I was job hunting I applied for both tech and finance just in case.
