In reply to Alec. Thanks for reading! Yup, I wish more entrepreneurs and owners would share their stories, especially in a detailed way. A lot of "advice" in online articles is quite generic.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. It’s rare to find a perspective like yours online in a well organized fashion. BIWS is one of the best investments I’ve made and I’m happy to hear you plan to continue it.

Thank you for this article. I’ve been navigating your website for the last few days.
Do you have some articles related to how to explain some detail in your resume that looks like failure? When you are young, not everything is in your own control, and things are more situational. I would just like to know how you would explain this situation.

Really nice read. I’m relatively new to your site (jumped from Securitization to IB only ~7 months ago), but always found your content to add a lot of value to my career progression. One of the reasons I made the switch was to gain more general and valuable experience to eventually launch my own business. Hope to keep learning from someone who has already walked that path.

Thanks!

Excellent write up Brian! I’m a former banker / PE professional who is now an entrepreneur. Your site and guides helped get me into the finance industry ~10 years ago. Nowadays your articles on entrepreneurship and your personal journey are what I read voraciously!

In reply to Luis. It's possible, but it's not the easiest transition because it's always harder to move from a regional office to the headquarters. I don't have the success probability or a formula you can use to predict your chances of moving.
