Hi Guys,
I've been in investment banking for about 4 years (3 years at one company, almost 1 year at this new job/company). This new job/role is really driving me insane due to how toxic the culture and people are. I happened to stumble upon The Millionaire Fastlane and I've never been so hopeful before that there's something else out there.
I've told some family/friends about some ideas I'm having (currently teaching myself coding) and everyone thinks I'm crazy. My parents and brother are texting me almost every day saying how I have such a great job and everything is going so well and I shouldn't give up all of the hard work I've done.
I have a few questions and could greatly use your opinion about what my next steps should be to escape the slowlane and start my own business:
Thank you guys, really appreciate any feedback here.

I have a few questions and could greatly use your opinion about what my next steps should be to escape the slowlane and start my own business:
- Does it make more sense to quit ASAP or to start a business on the side and see how that works out?
- If I do the business on the side, how should I frame this to my current employer (the basic contract everyone signs says you have to disclose ANY "outside business interests" and they have to approve or decline my request to do it)?
- Has anyone on here been in a similar situation to me? If so, what are you doing now and what would you recommend?
Thank you guys, really appreciate any feedback here.
