Greetings, everyone! It has just months since I graduated with a CompSci degree and I'm busy with my first job in an IB. I've got colleagues I love hanging out with, a decent pay, good WLB and a super neat office (the kind small city kid had never seen)
Yet despite this, I just don't feel like I could do this for next 10 years. There's just something missing - maybe it's challenge, a sense of impact or perhaps passion, can't place it. Somehow, the small-pay startup internship whose job I passed up on, seemed more fun. Everyone seems to have it all figured out with their plans to do MBA, MS etc or continue in the industry and here I am all confused.
So, here I am, trying things .... I guess. I got on the Rust hype by building a terminal application that taught me much. I'm planning to build a homelab to hack around and learn a bit of DevOps and security. I'll be buying a guitar with my first income soon. I've also been enjoying playing football, as I mistakenly missed out on sports in college. Another thing I've recently gotten into is quantitative finance - something I think might be interesting as a career since I also enjoy mathematics, but it seems to be too difficult a career to break in. Anyways, I've got Hull's Options, Trading and Other Derivative and some stochastic calculus books I'm planning to finish this year.
Sorry, it's all messy and over-ambitious but hopefully I'll figure something out :)
