I was making six-figures fresh out of college working as an analyst at a prestigious Wall Street investment bank. It was in many ways the dream setup and everything I had worked for. I was living in a luxurious apartment in Manhattan, wearing fancy suits, partying at New York’s finest rooftop clubs and making more money than I knew what to do with.
I was even featured in a 10-episode TV series called “Success,” which chronicled the lives of successful millennials. Swedish newspapers dubbed me “The Youngest Swede on Wall Street” and I felt like I had truly arrived. This was my time.
But despite all the external markers of success, something didn’t feel right. As time passed, I began to realize that a life-long career on Wall Street, something finance enthusiasts dream of, wasn’t for me. In this video, I’ll share 3 things I learned that ultimately led me to quit my investment banking gig to pursue a different, riskier and more meaningful path.
- ABOUT PROBABLY SOMETHING -
Hey, I'm Kunal. I'm a Swedish founder in NYC and ex-investment banker (Lazard M&A). You can think of this as my personal business blog, but in video format.
I create videos about finance, business strategy, M&A and mental models to help me better understand our complex business world. Through my work, I've mostly covered tech, media, healthcare, sports and holdcos so those are naturally the topics I gravitate towards.
My goal is to constantly challenge myself to become a better business operator, investor and thinker by studying world class founders, financiers and investors. I hope this channel will help you do the same.
Just sharing what I'm learning along the way and documenting my journey - nothing on here should be considered financial advice.
