New monkey here

Hi new monkey here.
*Coming from fintech industry.
*IT "consulting" was my life 24/7 for more than 5 years - looking for new challenges.
*Recently sold my company - looking for investments and promising projects.
*Have strong interest in venture capital, private equity and trading.
*Cynic (sometimes)

Update: Getting sweaty palms and light migraine on my 3rd day on WSO - Looks like forum's super duper AI assistant is preventing me to post a simple question and keep repeating "We do not allow new users to post any links to help prevent spam. This will be the case until you have enough points and have lived here long enough for us to know you're a friendly primate".

Update: Received some monkey shit because I told I don't like to date female IB

Veniam suscipit quam consectetur quasi rerum voluptatum. Ut distinctio minus facilis est ab sit eveniet nostrum. Consequatur provident sapiente illum facere ut.

Just had my trade dispute rejected by Schwab for a loss of 35k. This single issue alone should be a gigantic red flag to anyone who trades on their platform. If they have a system error, and you do not video record your trading (they actually said this), they will not honour their fuck up. Switching everything away from them. Fuck this company.
