Where Am I Headed: Banking, FinTech, or Tech
Episode description
After 8 years in the banking I quit my job. I quit my job as a quant in the risk management area. I have built, validated, audited, and implemented model across a range of financial products at a range of different banks. I have felt burnt out for a few years but wasn't sure what to do. After Covid hit the world and a bad work experience I decided to just leave and take some time to think (thanks to the encouragement of my wife). Luckily for me, my network is large enough that a few fintech firms, a global bank, and a FAANG firm all reached out wanting to see if I would bring my talent to their firm. I talked to many people over the last few months and finally made a decision. In this episode I discuss the process and why I chose to leave banking for now.
