Hi, really interested to know any ex-bankers here actually left to start their own companies after a couple/few years in IB, how that turned out for them, and what they are doing now. I'm talking specifically ex-IB and entrepreneurship afterwards. A gap of a few months or a couple years is acceptable.
Thanks.
