The recent thread circulating re: "Why Do Overachievers Think That Finance Is The Sole Route To Success And Riches" prompted me to start a discussion on escaping competition in your career.
I think posting this in the IB forum is also the perfect place since its one of the most desired and competitive roads in high finance and employers are generally looking for carbon copy applicants.
I'm a really big fan of Thiel's book zero to one where he covers in detail the need of startups escaping competition through several factors but I wanted to get a discussion going on escaping competition in your career.
How do you think about it?
How do you do it?
How have you done it, if you're already thinking like this?
Realizing that those who go down the IB route are often the most risk averse people looking to out grind their peers, would love to hear from those who ventured out the risk curve into other areas (doesn't have to be from a tech startup either) and escaped traditional competition from well defined paths.
Looking forward to (hopefully) generating a great discussion.
