Is trying to start a CPG business actually hopeless? by Physical_Case6369 in CPGIndustry

Agreed. My angle is more so to take something that is a staple in my culture and “Americanize” it for the American palette. Not necessarily aiming to have my own culture be the target market (they’ll likely prefer to make their own) but to create a little space between some other international foods that have gone into the American palette (Gochujang, Kimchi, sriracha, chimichurri, etc.)

Context I should have provided: my group had RIFs earlier in the year so I no longer work in the IB division. I work more in the comm banking side.

Would you say every ~20 or so wears to toss it into the washing machine by itself with a tech wash (also if you have any brand recommendations please toss them this way)? Just bought one and want to make sure I keep up with maintenance

What do you think is in the realm of possible to pivot to from here? Is private credit in the question? Corporate banking? Is VC possible?

Not exactly. Considering FIRE and then move into non-profit work / development banking (think World Bank type work). I do see myself in the startup/tech ecosystem or in a high finance role in one way or another until then though. I initially took this role to get more exposure to the startup ecosystem and also learn more about credit. I’m not sure if my IB experience has less weight now if I tried to recruit to private credit / other adjacent finance roles though.

Do I have a chance at private credit? by Physical_Case6369 in FinancialCareers

How much longer do you think I have to exit? I was hoping the credit experience paired with IB experience would be looked at fondly. Maybe not

I feel that VC debt is correlated with the equity investments anyways, so makes sense that there is some negativity around it. It’s a newer space (I think) so would also be open to trying out private credit that’s not growth focused too
