Am I Crazy For Wanting to Quit It All and Get a Remote Role/Buy a Small Business/Do Anything Else?

................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

 

Current college student here and I'll say that's probably my dream post-IB so you're definetly not crazy. Everything depends on your own goals and there's no point living a life that's not authentic towards yourself.

At least that's my 2 cents :)

 

Doesn't have to be an either/or. Here in a few months I'm quitting, getting a remote role, and starting a small business that is still very much in real estate development.

what’s the remote role?

Just “Developer” 

We have a couple deals scattered about, and all require plane travel for site visits, so it doesn’t matter really where I live.

Is this like a fully remote analytical job - ie you could go work from Mexico or Europe because all you're doing is models, memos, etc.? Or is it still a VP-level job just that you don't have to go to the office and can live anywhere in the US and fly to your site visits?

If the former, do you have any concern that you do this for 5 - 10 years and then your job ends up becoming replaceable and now you're stuck with a resume where you haven't been sourcing/executing for so long?
