Seeking Advice...

Hi All,

Been working in MM ER for about a year, and seeking a nontraditional exit (if there even are traditional exits out of ER) - I'm on the West Coast so we're in the office at 4am PT, then working 60-70 hours weekly (I know not even close to IB hours but still exhausting).

Do any of you have experience in an exit out of finance altogether (or maybe corporate finance, but not FP&A) that you've really found joy in and work normal hours? Any stories/advice/recommendations would be truly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Fellow chimp
