Uber CEO's advice for his 22-year-old self: 'Get the hell out of investment banking'

When Uber's new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi visited India earlier this year, the president of Uber India asked him what advice he would give to his 22-year-old self, and Khosrowshahi offered a candid response, The New Yorker reports:"To get the hell out of investment banking sooner."

The job had its perks: After his first year,"he received a twenty-thousand-dollar bonus and an all-expenses-paid African safari," The New Yorker reports, and he met his mentor, Barry Diller, who almost immediately began grooming him for leadership. Khosrowshahi is not alone in leaving a prestigious Wall Street job to pursue, and succeed in, another career. Bestselling author Michael Lewis walked away from a lucrative job at Salomon Brothers to pursue writing full-time. And Amazon founder Jeff Bezos left a comfortable spot on Wall Street to launch an Internet bookstore that would become Amazon.
