Disclosing Music Industry side business in IB - Worried about perception
Hey guys I am an A1 and have cold feet about letting HR know I want to embark on a side hustle in music production, the issue is my family and friends outside work are heavily involved in the music industry and I have even had people in my friendship circle nominated and even win a grammy.
It wouldn't just be a cute thing where I upload it to YouTube and no one would see it, there is a near certainty I would produce for mainstream artists. Ed Sheeran, Justin Beiber, Post Malone, Lil Yatchy and every one in between is what I am talking about.
Music is my dream and I love the stability that a career in finance has given me but I am worried that word would get to my manager and team and any mistake I ever make would be blamed on it, plus I am sure it would leak eventually within my bank especially if i post music videos on social media and i am worried I would be the first to get fired if things go south and they start looking for analysts to put on the chopping block.
The thing is i want to get started in the music business now to lay a side income for myself in case I ever lose my job but i am now worried that disclosing it would lead to me losing me job.
What do you guys think? Should I wait until bonuses are paid to disclose this? When i tell HR would no one on my team know?
As an aspiring musician who chose IB to pay the bills… could not be more jealous of the predicament you’re in right now
