(off trading)
So I took a trip to Goa and stayed in a hostel. Almost everyone I talked to, traded/invested and when they described how they do so, I felt insanely grateful to the course. It’s almost scary what people do with their hard earned money.
I also got offered a job in sales for a lease financing company as a friend who works there put in a good word for me. Remote job, pays well, aligned with my values. Round one interview went great. I shared my horrible job experiences and then went on to send them a mail just so that they understood the gravity of why I demanded “sanity” at work. For those who don’t know, India is infamous for just thee worst working cultures ever. You’re shamed for being transactional or for wanting a life. In my last job I’d often have a week’s worth work hours as (unpaid for) overtime in a month.
In the email, beside the work hours and off work mental space, I even mentioned that since I started trading , I’ve found myself growing less tolerant of toxic work cultures. I respectfully disclaimed/asked for things I’d have never imagined… and they agreed!
While the round two is due on Monday, I do feel they really want me on board. And this is the first time I negotiated for off salary stuff. Wouldn’t have been possible without the course. I think finding myself in a terrible workplace might be the biggest “drawdown” I think I have avoided? Thanks for enabling this Nick, Craig, Trish and the whole freaking forum!
