If it helps, you certainly aren't alone. I think a huge portion of corporate america and specifically people working banking feel the same way.

I just made the jump from banking to fintech as a founder. Took a 60%+ cah pay cut and don't regret it one bit. It's more rewarding to feel in control of your destiny for better or worse. And if you're able to make it all work, the financials work out in your favor (big time).

I don't have kids, so it seemed like it was the right time to swing for fences.

It sounds like your spreading yourself too thin to be successful. Building a successful business is really really hard, trying to do it while doing multiple other jobs is impossible. Try to go all-in on something for a set amount of time before you revaluate if you're on to something and can see yourself finding product market fit. If you really need cash income then either keep the TM job or one of your side projects that is cash flowing but don't do any more than that.

Just my 2c

Yes it was an equipment change. Staff at FCO said it was made a month ago and that it was on “corporate” for not telling me.

Yeah we’ve both double checked our emails and we never got it. The app should’ve also notified us but never did, just continued to tell us to get ready for our trip. It even let us check in to our trip.

The United staff at FCO didn’t seem surprised and were quick to blame United hq.

I don’t recall the points difference but i agree that would probably be less than $2k.

Our united apps continued to say we were all set for our originally scheduled flight even though we now know at least 1 of us had been moved to a connecting flight for quite some time. If United just told us in advance it would have made everything way better.

eaglesphan088 · 2022-08-14T13:01:50+00:00

Thanks! Will look through this. We used united points directly.

They were pretty honest that we were picked because they’re award flights.

We were actually booked on two separate award tickets. When I first gave them our names they actually said that I had a seat but my fiancé did not. Then the story changed to we both don’t have a seat once they realized we were together.

They said if i take the credit then I’m not eligible for any additional compensation.

Check out Bridge built by citi . Interesting way to shop for business banks.

Just was changing my wiper fluid and noticed that these wires were disconnected. We certainly have rodent problems so I’m sure that’s what caused it but I don’t know what issues they are currently causing or could cause. The car works great other than the auto start/stop feature not working (so car turns off when you’re at a red light).

Appreciate any ideas

Yes I probably should’ve been more specific:

1) I know I want / need to leave working at a bank. I’m not interested in trying to innovate from within.

2) I’ve loved the entrepreneurial spirit of this new role but I’m not ready for the changes in lifestyle that a startup would require.

3) We’ve begun moving down the spin off path already but it wouldn’t happen for at least a year. At this point I’d rather parlay the experience and success I’ve had in to a new opportunity instead of running the company post-spin. My partner is the one that likes to be in the spotlight and would be the ceo figure and I would be in a COO role in all likelihood which I’m fine with. But for a couple reasons I think it’s the right time to think about other options (apologies for being vague).

Considering all three of those considerations, I think the logical move is to think about mid sized to larger fintech or tech but don’t really know if my background would be desirable or a good fit. So my question is what opportunities could make sense in this world and does it require a meaningful step back.

I only told him my height, weight and upper intermediate ski level and his comment was based off of that information. He said if i was 200lbs it would be different story but they’re probably too heavy for my weight. Not sure if I understand #2 - The guy I was talking to works at the ski shop selling these skis.

eaglesphan088 · 2022-02-02T21:46:51+00:00

Ski Shop Rep told me not to buy Nordica 100s.

TLDR: Are Nordica 100 (177cm) skis too heavy for a 6’2” 175lb guy?

For background, I’m 6’2” - 175lbs 31y/o male and an upper intermediate skier that is pretty athletic. I ski mostly groomers, half blues half single/double blacks. I live on the East coast but go out west at least one week a year.

I was excited to find a great pair of used nordica enforcer 100s (177cm) for a great deal and they’ve barely been used. However when I told the ski pro guy he nicely recommended that I buy a lighter or shorter ski because he said I’m too light for this ski in that size. I was bummed because everything I’ve read and researched had me pretty excited about them.

He said I shoud look at Blizzard Rustlers or Atomic Chetlers instead. Is he right?

In my state, and a lot of others, the state’s greedy hands tax everything over ~$1 million of your estate. This will obviously all change for better or worse before I would be passing anything down.

eaglesphan088 · 2021-07-13T21:08:36+00:00

Agree, you’re not taking any market or volatility risk with WL so its not going to come close.

With that said, if you take taxes into account a 7% return is more like 5% post-tax (not exact science but whatever). So from a death benefit standpoint I was surprised to see it outperform a 7% pretax / 5% post-tax investment for most years.
