11.0

I had forgotten about this blog until a new comment alert hit my inbox.  I have no idea why the www still burps this up, but it's been nice to re-read.  Here I am, 11 years later ...

Post LBS, I stayed in London and worked for a big investment bank, the Corporate Finance end of it, for eight years.  The first two years I learned a lot, but was unhappy (as were many 2008-10).  Since then all's been well.  I first moved into a team where I liked the people and then found autonomy, a key to happiness, because the job was a good fit.

I recently left banking and started as head of international M&A for a listed tech company.  So far so good.  No downsides that I can see.  The previous steps were required to get here but I think I would be happy either way - I try to remember to keep the happiness bar as low as possible.
