Bye bye equity ...

Seldom we see steepish shifts in careers. I have heard that peole who get them have made it to great heights (cross-fingered:-)). So far my experience shares the same view, that any steep shift is great and works simple because, "Fortune favors the brave".
Being an chemical engg (academically) i started my career with chemical industry and some months later, Ahoy !! got an opportunity to work as brand manager with a financial services company (steep shift)(dont think how i got it, im still amused).
But, i took this opportunity and plunged. Years later, i was working with huge asset management company and then, investment banker(wealth managment dept) in a similar capacity. You see, all the odd bets that i took of leaving chemical industrty paid off well. Now this time around (again a steepish shift)i am getting an opportunity to work with a big inter-dealer broker (What ??) B2B segment. propably closer route to IB. So this time it is Equity ==>> debt and from Retail ==>> Corporate and far fetched Marketing & Branding ==>> Broker.

Lets see how it works out. I am sure destiny has got something bigger for me.

Signing off from equity, marketing & retail.
