I've never met a fellow software engineer who "centers divs" for 6 figures.

But then I work with engineers using FPGAs to trade in the markets with tick to trade times in double digit nanoseconds and processing streams of market data at ~10 million messages per second (80Gbps)

The truth is, a lot of P&L in trading these days is a technical feat of mathematics and engineering and not just one of fundamental analysis and punting on business plans

But did you ever meet fellow engineers who don't take everything literally?

If you were really smart surely you would be able to see that there are more long-term valuable things for you to do with your time than just make yourself more money...
