Jack Kelly and Rick Chen react to Wall Street's 100-hour-plus workweeks and its culture of grinding out employees, especially in the junior ranks. We explore the compensation available and whether the money is worth the sacrificed weekends, social relationships and mental health.

Jack also walks through all of the available functions and roles in the finance industry and why tech professionals might want to make the switch.
