Getting a job at a hedge fund is not particularly noteworthy. Being really good at it, however, is rare and those people don’t simply leave, as you’re earning the equivalent of a successful startup exit every year.

Someone leaving a hedge fund while still early in their career is a strong negative signal. e.g. SBF and Caroline both from Jane Street.

Didn’t Bezos leave a hedge fund?

I started as a hedge fund manager at 23 doing global macro at Pictet & quit when my son was diagnosed with autism to build an NLP team to analyse clinical trial & other data and undertook pathway analysis of neurotransmitters focusing on GABA/Glutamate balance to repurpose medicine to help him filter, after which he went to mainstream school.

One of the things I am focused on now is bringing that research with the new medical LMs so for autism, cancer, MS, Alzheimer’s & more everyone has comprehensive, authoritative and up to date knowledge at their fingertips on these and also a guide so they never feel alone and helps them on their journey if they or a loved one gets this diagnosis.

It will be open and transparent, took a while to build to here but looking forward to next steps.

I've never tried either end of the power or money scales so I'm not qualified to agree or disagree.

Your story is about personal power - applying your skills to a problem that most people are powerless to solve.

For some reason your story made me think of this: https://bessstillman.substack.com/p/please-be-dying-but-not-... -- Where's the accessible database of trials?

Yes, after 8 years.
