As I progress through the game and unlock more nodes in the skill tree, I've found that it takes a frustratingly long time to get to the nodes I want to unlock whenever I go to the skill tree, since the starting position is the very first skill you unlock and you have to move from node to node one at a time until you get where you're trying to go. This may not be an issue for PC (not sure if there's some sort of scroll bar?), but it is unbearably slow on PS4.
Is there a way to bypass nodes or scroll through the skill tree faster? It takes a while to get to the far ends of the tree at the moment.

So as you pointed out and a few others have in the comments, console scrolling for the skill tree is slow and kind of annoying.
It would appear that there's nothing to do at the moment, other than 1) Submit feedback to the team to encourage an update and 2) Use the joystick on a diagonal to jump around a bit quicker.
There are a few instances of people recommending feedback, especially for a free floating cursor (Destiny style) to make console life easier.
Both of those threads had responses from the dev team saying to submit feedback and or they are working on modifying it.
As of Patch 1.4 they have improved the Skill Tree visually making it easier to understand supposedly, but this is not an improvement to its speed.
