Proactively Creating Opportunities Through Writing

The speaker realized the need to explore other opportunities while maintaining their current job. Instead of quitting immediately and facing financial stress, they decided to put their ideas out there through writing. Inspired by high-level professionals at BlackRock, the speaker started an internal newsletter to share market insights and attract new opportunities within the firm. By proactively creating and sharing valuable content, the speaker was able to build a readership of a couple hundred people and pave the way for new opportunities.
