Underrated career advice: There's nothing more valuable than someone who can just figure it out. Do some work. Ask the key questions. Get it done. Repeat. If you do that, people will fight over you.
My journey on FinTwit has been nothing short of incredible.
When I set to go on my own in 2021, I remember a friend from the rates industry telling me “You are posting your thoughts on other platforms, but you’re missing out on the biggest of them all. Try Twitter”.
I had never used it in my life, but it clicked immediately.
The whole ecosystem was about deep research, sharing ideas, and some fair banter - just a fantastic place where to get high quality financial info.
I still remember working overnight on the “banking crash” of 2023 as I felt I could add value given it was about interest rate derivatives - my home turf.
Followers and impressions grew at an outrageous pace. A few times I was stopped in NY and London by fellow FinTwitters asking if I was “MacroAlf”. Crazy stuff.
Fast forward to today, unfortunately all of that it’s gone. It’s mostly low quality info, accounts flaming each others to get subscribers to their newsletters, and a ton of selective “look how smart I was” self-quote posts.
I hope it will come back to what it was. Really.
In the meantime a few people pointed me to the post below. It is flattering but incorrect.
I have gotten a lot of things publicly wrong. And I don’t have any issues admitting it. My win rate has always been around 50%.
Good luck to everyone. I miss the good old FinTwit.
