IB to Celebrity Exit

I had some late night thoughts yesterday and realized that I want to just become a celebrity and exit quickly. I think being a celebrity is my calling. Does anyone have precedents for this or has done this before? Not expecting much here since being a celebrity actually takes some intellectual and social prowess whereas IB doesn't.... could literally teach my dog how to do this "job"

For reference, I'm a 2nd year analyst at a top bank (GS, MS, JPM, Mizuho), and I already have a PE offer but am looking to make the switch last minute. Would be much appreciated if someone could help or has any celebrity connections :]

You can go from an EB to reality tv and become a d-list celebrity.  There is precedent for this.


Mark Moran really is a celebrity

 

God of uptiering on exits

There is no where to go from Centerview but celebrity status. Peak investment banking

Just keep posting on WSO and become a niche, internet micro-celebrity on a finance forum. Then you reach the ranks of those like Isaiah 53, the Brofessor, CRE, and others.
