What are the peeves/dislikes/hates/sources of job dissatisfaction for people in finance related careers? Specifically, careers related to financial risk management, hedge funds, financial engineering/quantitative analysis, etc. I'm thinking about doing an MFin or an MA in Financial Risk Management and want to know the worst I could possibly expect (I guess I'm trying to manage my risk, heh) if I did that and started a career in the industry. Notes on me: I'm some math-oriented or have been in the past, but not at the level of hardcore quants; I've been working on and off in software for years but don't really like doing development -- I much prefer analysis.
