I think quants can get 350k - 700k, extremely high compensation is the main draw of finance and what the positions seem to lead with.

From my reading, it's pretty much the only draw. I guess you could say working in an algorithm heavy environment is the other draw.

If a company has to pay you that much over typical market rate (for software devs), there's a reason.
