Rome's Room

Jerome Vaz

The podcast where we talk to ordinary people who are doing extraordinary things. Every week we'll have a co-host who is "ordinary" but has achieved something extraordinary in their life that is worth talking about. We often compare ourselves to others and put too much pressure on ourselves to be excellent. We forget that others have struggles too and maybe only did one thing different in their life to be extraordinary. I hope this podcast gives you the motivation you need to chase your dreams and become extraordinary. Welcome to the room!

    This week, join me, Jerome Vaz, your friendly neighborhood ex-investment banker, and our co-host another recent ex-investment banker, Romeo Waldo as we discuss our expectations vs the reality of investment banking and reveal why we both decided we had to quit. Investment banking is an extremely demanding career and you have to sacrifice a lot in order to last. This week we discuss all we had to sacrifice and how being an immigrant may have helped us last in investment banking a little longer than we had expected.
