Is quant interesting? Is it a good career option for someone who loves CP and intellectually stimulating tasks? I also heard that the WLB is bad in quant and i'm not a fan of that. And i dont find finance too interesting yet many seniors/friends recommended that quant is a good option for me. Please share your thoughts. Thanks :)

What other non-sport preferably "useful" things like web dev, AI/ML have a similar feel to CP and gives us similar satisfactions? Genuinely curious.
