This quote is actually pretty representative. I have some very close friends in finance and have heard that many people are quitting or planning on quitting to join the tech/startup sector for this very reason.
Interestingly, instead of immediately quitting some people are instead just slacking until they get fired and receive lucrative severance packages.
Of course, this is only for my finance friends with technical backgrounds. I haven't heard the same from non-technical people in finance.
