It's not that I have regret--I'm ridiculously well paid compared to other laborers, even if I'm still underpaid compared to the value I deliver--it's that I just can't stand the personalities and practices in this field, and I'm still in the (b) side of that spectrum.

Though that will change soon thanks to a fantastic liquidity event.

I'm looking forward to leaving this industry in a couple of months and living comfortably on my low- to mid-seven figure exit.
