I've been thinking if I should mode from my soulless job in ML to a soulless job in finance.

The "good" news is, pretty soon, they'll be the same thing!

Just wanted to chime in and say that your “soulless job in ML” comment is relatable, and your experience isn’t unique. I had one too. I saved up a lot of money from it, but by the end it nearly cost me my remaining passion.
A soulless job in finance is better if you like(d) ML at all, because then you can keep your interests separate from your job.

Interesting! I never made that connection but now that you mention it it is obvious. Thanks.

I did read somewhere that for someone trying to write a book in their spare time, a job in editing is the worst possible thing to have for a similar reason.
