> I started to make much more money by just spending the same amount of time writing enterprise software

As in a day job in enterprise software? How come you didn't consider joining an asset management firm as a quant dev? I heard they're very lucrative.

> I switched to stock picking based on the premise that the market at large might be momentarily irrational

I see, sounds like a momentum strat.

Yeah, a day job. I'm not in the US and there are no such quant positions that would accept me remotely and/or pay more than the remote-only US corporate job I have. But I'd probably avoid it even if I was in the US, I don't like long hours and stress.
Makes sense. Appreciate the conversation! Don't have people to talk to in my personal network about this topic.
Cheers and best of luck
