I closed a billion dollar IPO, got a $50,000 bonus, and felt absolutely nothing. Two weeks later I quit investment banking.
This is the full timeline of what happened next, told honestly. I get into the two types of people who go into investment banking and why the ones like me almost never stay. The guilt of wanting to leave a job that thousands of people would kill to have. And the trip to San Diego where I gave myself two weeks to change my mind, then walked in on January 2nd and put in my notice anyway.
Then the messy part. My first TikTok, posted the week after I quit. Dropshipping, which I eventually shut down. The boba shop, where I found out people complain about the exact same things whether they're closing billion dollar deals or making milk tea. The marketing agency, the video that turned me into the NDA guy, and the AI startup I run today.
If you're in a job you worked incredibly hard to get and quietly wondering whether this is it, this one's for you.
