People who have left IB to pursue a passion
I've seen some posts on here about how the financial security provided by a career in investment banking will eventually allow people to leave the industry in pursuit of a passion or lifelong interest.
Have you ever had a co-worker tell you that they were leaving the company and when you asked "what bank/PE firm/HF?" they responded with something that totally surprised you like "I'm opening up a bait and tackle shop down by the shore."
Do things like this actually happen, or does the allure of bonus season prevent every Ray the VP from opening up his very own Bait and Tackle shop?
I left to pursue my passion of underwater basket weaving. I felt I was not being adequately challenged at my former job. I was sick of the daily grind. My baskets are now highly sought after around the world, easter is our busiest time of the year. Now I can kick back and relax for a while. Good luck and godspeed
I quit to pursue my dream of partying all the time while other people (i.e. the employees of firms whose stock I own) work 24/7 to make me wealthier.
