congrats man!
grats, key question: does the firm know you are quitting?
no
what training is your hf gonna give you
I will be going to their HQ for a few weeks (get acclimated with the team i'll be working with and all) and then start working at a new office that was just built.
Random shot but..... Brevan Howard?
I quit my job on the way to the airport while moving to the biggest competitor in Europe. Sold everything I owned and drove a rental car to work with my bags packed for the plane.
Good luck. You'll get over it. The people, if they aren't dbags, will congratulate you as a person even though it's a loss for the company.
LIKE A BOSS!
x 2 on the Like a Boss... Silver Banana awarded
ha, savor it man. tell it to your kids and grandkids
damn, sounds like a great moment :)
love the change
When I left my firm I got a cake? Did you?
Happy to hear this! :)
I'm standing outside my bosses door...being a beta about this
aware
you should probably get off your phone and not stand outside your bosses door like a creep, oh and get me a job at your hedge fund too
Well done.
DO IT LIVE!
Congrats man. I'm privileged to have known someone as persistent as you.
ck, didn't you like just get your current gig?
Yea I started in August. Got lucky with HF offer I got. Too good to pass up IMO.
Now... GET TO DA CHOPPA.
How'd it go?
NICE.
sick man. tell us how the quitting conversation goes with your boss
Congrats on the offer.
One thing I don't understand is why everyone seems to so focused on making a splash with OP's exit. It seems that OP has a good relationship with his firm, and while he's leaving for a better opportunity in his opinion, still feels some bittersweet feelings about leaving. Maybe I'm wrong in this case, but I think exiting in general should conjure up mixed feelings in people. Yeah it's exciting that you're leaving a place that likely made you crank at all hours but hopefully you made some good friendships and relationships along the way too.
Savor it man.
Congrats!!
Mirin OP. Son I am proud.
Good luck !!
Congrats. People move around a lot in this industry, you'll get used to it.
How'd you get the offer so soon?
Well, what happened?
I spoke with the COO. He basically was just like everyone has been really impressed with my performance and that everyone would hate for me to leave. He immediately asked me what it would take to stay. I threw out a number (3x what I am currently making) and he said that it would probably be doable (I explained to him that It was not about the $$$). Everything is normal at work today. Nobody has brought up me leaving or given me weird looks. I want to just stop coming in, but they want me to find a replacement and train them before I leave next week...
Hire me.
Wait... you asked your boss to triple your salary after 6 months on the job and he said that would be "doable"? What kind of shop do you work at??
Seriously... I would want to work at any place willing to triple my salary on request.
I'm assuming OP already signed with the HF?
I also echo the question above.
What year are you? How much more are you making at your HF?
i'm pretty damn qualified, interview me.
dude you shop at walmart...ding
Curious why the OP went radio silent all the sudden....
Hey guys, I came down with a bad case of the flu. I'll respond to everyone's questions in a bit.
