Everything was really sort of up and right.
But, you know, come 2007 and early 2008, a lot of things have changed, right?
You know, we were literally on the front row seat.
I was actually supposed to join a company called Bear Stearns.
That's one of the top, you know, investment banks.
Essentially, you know, almost a hundred year old bank back then was top five in POS.
But, you know, one thing led to another.
And then the company essentially collapsed.
went bankrupt and got acquired by JP Morgan.
This is in early 2008.
And so everything went, you know, sideways along with my job.
Right after B-School, I was supposed to, I signed the offer with them.
I was supposed to join them on a full-time basis after graduation, but obviously a lot of things changed.
So that's kind of a, to answer your question in terms of humility, that's the very first lesson, right?
Coming into the financial services industry, coming to Wall Street, you know, your kind of my full-time job at the very top investment bank essentially went poof overnight, right?
So I had to kind of, you know, look for other opportunities along the way.
And I was fortunate enough to join a
a pretty large hedge fund right after the Bear Stearns story, and then joined the hedge fund also at a very interesting time during the V shape of the recovery of the market.
This is back in 2008 and 2009.
A lot of things changed almost on a daily basis, sometimes on an hourly basis.
