M(27), Torn between family business/responsibility vs making a career of my own after a masters (math finance) in finance secto
Exactly as the title says, we have a family business and it’s growing well, my father looks up to me with hope in his eyes but I just don’t see myself fit with the trading/customer side of equation squarely enough, that’s where he shines immensely to be honest, and I would love for our family biz to grow many folds but here at 27, still a year away from a masters program I have planned for myself in quant econ (math finance) which leads to a more than decent placement in finance and adjacent sectors, I’m just split cause family business and family is equally dear to me but I know I’ll be stagnant in my hometown and my identity will be wholly shadowed by my dad as it is even when I have been in it for the past 4 or 5 years, it’s frustrating sometimes
