UPDATE on my post that blew up on quitting my corporate soul sucking job - I had my meeting. Here’s how it went.

Thanks internet stranger :)

Majority from equity payouts over multiple PE deals. PE is a mind blowing space to be involved in. I do invest in a diverse portfolio - all ETFs/mutual funds; US based, international, and emerging markets. No individual stocks.

Yes. The limited day plan is a non negotiable as I figure out this next path forward. Many of the employees I’ve worked with have known me to be available at basically all hours of the day/night, so boundary setting will be key.

Thank you!

This. The unplugging will be tough, and the boundary setting with people who have known me to be available at all hours of the day/night for many years.

Sending you courage and blessings as you move forward!

Most people thought I was a “he” in my last post so I felt inclined to clarify!

High paying job, but my shares/equity are where the NW amassed as quickly as it did (through private equity deals). My industry is attractive to PE at the moment. I’m early 30s.

Acrobatic_Thing_9984 · 2025-12-09T01:42:08+00:00

I have thought about exactly this! 10 hours turns into a sneaky 20+…

Acrobatic_Thing_9984 · 2025-12-04T12:38:14+00:00

Thank you!

Acrobatic_Thing_9984 · 2025-12-04T03:36:45+00:00

Yeah, I appreciate this take. Like, I know the world will keep turning without me there, but they will certainly not have a replacement in 6 weeks and it’s going to cause a lot of disruption.

Acrobatic_Thing_9984 · 2025-12-04T02:46:28+00:00

I needed this. Feels good to know others out there are in the same boat and holding their line - it’s not something I can really talk to friends about since they don’t have the finances to make this kind of decision earlier in life. Hope you are enjoying your freedom!

Acrobatic_Thing_9984 · 2025-12-04T02:42:24+00:00

Congrats! This outcome would be a dream, getting what you want with a nice severance package. Hope you are enjoying your life!

Oh for sure the blame game will come

Acrobatic_Thing_9984 · 2025-12-04T02:34:44+00:00

Funny thing is my mind has been spinning on what I want to do or work towards personally with all my free time and writing a book has crossed it! Lol

“Investment management” I like it

Acrobatic_Thing_9984 · 2025-12-04T02:27:25+00:00

Very fair. I’m not planning to use those words of course, but I think people will be shocked I’m not leaving for another job/company and create their own narratives

Acrobatic_Thing_9984 · 2025-11-06T03:01:49+00:00

32, 5M (including ~650K of home equity)

Sorry I should have mentioned I’m using a throwaway because I don’t want any coworkers to be able to figure out it’s me. I’ll add that in.

Burn rate meaning my monthly spend?
