The grass isn't always greener: Matt Huang's full story

Chasing prestige is a trap that many high achievers fall into, only to realize the destination feels empty.

In this special episode, we flip the script.

Daniel interviews Matt about his entire life story from a video game-addicted high schooler to working at the world's most prestigious firms.

We discuss the "You're a loser IRL" wake-up call that made Matt quit gaming, the toxic "Banker or Bust" mentality that led him to Georgetown, and the brutal reality of working 80-hour weeks in investment banking (including the dreaded "Please Fix" nightmares).

We also dive into his transition to BCG, the "Google Honeymoon" phase, and why he ultimately walked away from a dream tech job to bet on himself. 

This is a raw look at burnout, "Grass is Greener" syndrome, and finding fulfillment outside of a corporate title.

If you’re chasing a job just for the status, or feel stuck on the corporate treadmill, this episode is for you.
