2015 wife had enough of my lifestyle and hours :P... though the money was phenomenal, I missed out on all family events, almost had no friends, etc. just trade trade trade.... it's like I tell others... every trader has a shelf life

Same. All my friends were coworkers and clients, lol. No workless weekends. My wife had enough too. But I just kept hitting the chopping block from 2010-2012. But started in the business in the analyst program at BofA in 2004. Did the startup thing for a few years - (2012-2014) like working for free. Now work in capital management for a fortune 100. Money is not even close. But time and benefits are so incredible. Well, fringe benefits were better on the Street.
What do you do in Big Data?
