Quit IB to become a composer. Seeking folks with similar experience

Hi everyone, I quit a top investment bank and become a composer last year. I have been seeking for folks with similar cross-industry experience to connect and share insights. Please let me know if you are one of them or if you know anybody! Thank you!
