Personally I think we're in a time of opportunity like never before and this window is probably short. The trading stuff, career stuff etc all has path dependency and compounds. If you love it nice but you've got a good thing with good revenue going on here and I think you can make more money trading your own capital and posting about it with lots more freedom than almost anywhere else. This will further compound too. My take is don't spend your time on something that doesn't bring you on top of these exponentials. But you gotta know the relative allocation
The tension here is really between two compounding curves. Capital compounds visibly; intellectual range compounds slowly and often only becomes legible later. The wager is that doing mathematics without an immediate payoff may enlarge the future opportunity set more than optimizing the current one.

You have proven you can do the job and you have savings. It’s the perfect time to embarque on an intellectual journey.
Congrats, chase it hard; we know you will. Let us hear about it.
Thanks! I’ll definitely be posting about it.
