I made to final round on each of the interviews and then flunked. And when I got an offer from last one a unheard hedge fund, I accepted it. I wasn't sure if finance was firms but the pay was better & stress was zero(at least here).

Life takes you in a roller-coaster, just grasp the handrails & enjoy it. I always loved a small company where responsibilities are more but wanted to try these big ones but guess I don't belong there. I blame it on Karma.
Oh damn! You made it to the final rounds? That's even worse than my story. Anyway, thanks for the feedback.
My current job gives me more responsibilities and i enjoy doing the work and seeing peoples reaction when they use something i built, the stress here is very very low.
I was just trying to see for i can earn a little more because we all know there's no perfect job, the downfall to my current job is that i'm not making as much as i would like. I make enough for my lifestyle but it never hurts to add a few $'s in my life.

Trust me it is. I'm a complete different person now. I've learned so much both technical and social. I now know how much i'm worth and where i stand in life.
