Hate it.

I started coding at 14 and had my first paying contract at 16. Worked in a large startup once and freelanced until 22. Even though I was making 6 figures, I was extremely unhappy and depressed with the monotony and boredom my job had become.

I was fortunate (and probably lucky) to have been able to move to finance (hedge fund) at 23.

Would you mind sharing more about how you did that?

I like programming and enjoy the challenge, but it depresses me that I'm in my early 20s and have already hit the salary ceiling.
