I’d like to see the autopsy report on how he died…
When I worked in tech, I worked non-stop as well back in the 90s…It was common to leave work and light was out by then. His VPs are probably a lot worst though than I had it…course, I’m sure he’s making tons more money.
Anyhow, I think the tough thing for kids and young people is you don’t really “know” why you’re even working that hard. For this guy, it sounds like he didn’t last a year even.
The money isn’t “as” much at his level, and without kids, mortgage, there was no, “I have to provide for my family” mentality.
Most likely, working that much is a very lonely experience since the article said he was there alone all the time…
I assume a lot of other analysts are in the same boat though. Maybe I should be more sympathetic, but until the autopsy report comes out, this “job” like many others generally suck. Work is work after all and if you want prestige, money, women, whatever, a lot of people sell themselves to the work life.
Until the reports come out though, I don’t think I can say it’s anyone’s fault…other than his dad maybe. Not surprising he’s an immigrant.
Just saw Jamie Dimon has joined the billionaire’s club. From what the reports say, banking is still the highest percentage way for people to make billions if that’s what you want (Tech is good too, but probably too hit/miss).
