There's a big spread, and it depends on which institution and where in the institution you are.

the closer you are to the money (front office vs back) the more money you make, but the more stress you get

the smaller the firm, the more freedom/autonomy, the bigger the firm, the more beauracracy you have to deal with. Imagine working at microsoft vs your own startup.

Other than that, it's not much different than any other technology job
