It is actually very straight forward to make it into the 250s in finance, assuming you are in the right sub-industry (ibanking, equity research, PM, etc). It's not negligible at all. I'd argue that you're much more likely to make $250k in six years in finance than you are in software. It's clear you know nothing about the finance industry and how it works. Yes, there are a ton of hours. Yes, it is a ton of high stress work. But if you can handle it, you'll likely make very good money.
