ah ok. i think that i learned it within the last year from his site (http://www.stroustrup.com/) which has a very 90's vibe to it so i categorized it as old news.

#6> What motivated you to leave academia to join Morgan Stanley?
$$$
Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with that, he's earned it. But the whole spiel about wanting to get back to solving real world problems... Come on, now. How about Google? NASA? Tesla? Plenty of real world problems to solve there tackling difficult problems.
But Morgan Stanley? Decade old technology spending most of your time interfacing twenty year old languages to mainframes. Nothing that will make your heart pound there.
But the money... oh yeah, the money. No argument there.

The money, of course. He's a Managing Director.

If there is someone who puts premium on execution speed it's probably Wall Street. I get the impression that that is one of the things Stroustrup really cares about also.
