Do I quit?

Hi All,


I made it to the holy land of a top BB (GS/MS) from community college, and I also got an offer for PE from top fund, but holy fuck am I unhappy.


the people suck, everyone is fake and I can’t imagine being at the bottom of the totem pole again. I talk shit back to my seniors because I do not care if they are my superior, if something is stupid I say as it is. For these reasons I realized, I cannot stay in this game in the long run.



i want to leave after my bonus and start my own thing, but I am afraid if I fail, I will lose my cushy and secure high-paying job.


is the risk worth it? Quite honestly, I would be happier making $80k on my own, than $300k sucking dick constantly 



do you know anyone who has done this? Any advice?
