@blueprintsmb22 This hits home. Went from Hedge Funds, sell side dinners, creditor committees to owning a small pest control company, dealing with broken vans, hoping staff show up,managing low skill blue collar workers. So much less career mobility in HF track then thought

@blueprintsmb22 Year 3. Spent nearly 20 years on the Ivy-League finance treadmill. By 2018, the writing was on the wall — I wasn’t a pod guy and the 5-guys-5-Bloombergs HF model was dying. ETA is a grind, but I keep betting on myself. kids are in HS, prestige schools couldn’t matter less to me.

@Stoyvensen @TheHoopHerald Exactly. They played on their local team. My son and I watched AI documentary the other day. He was shocked AI played for his HS team.

@mar5hallhoops Well said. Actually negative even for the “big” reclass kids. Never have to develop. Then it catches up.
