Kevin Jon is more relatable if you're in Europe/Asia.
Hard to relate to him as an American.
That being said, his videos are mediocre. Have seen a handful of them. At this point, seems like he is trying to validate his career choices through his videos.
yeah this sums it up
video is nothing new.
Never watched this guy before but I thought this video is well put. Truth is smart people should be building things. “Risk-adjusted high comp” careers should not be the way bright young people look at their futures. I’m in finance until my startup takes off and then I’m out
He makes alot of good points. The problem is that IB, Consulting are the two best risk-adjusted career paths and its not even close with respect to optionality & compensation ceilings. Engineering (both hardware and software) may pay well but are far too technically demanding, and lack the same growth avenues as IB. While IB is more about surviving the hours/lifestyle and producing good product --> VP, if you aren't technically competent enough, you will never become a lead software engineer at FAANG. I think there needs to be more careers for junior people where they can get the optionality they desire. Until then, I don't see anything changing with consulting, and IB so long as the pay remains superior.
Idk if you can speak about any of the terminal career experiences since a you haven’t gotten to either of them mr Analyst.
