So just a little context. I work for a family office in a third world country that is in a downward spiral. And like everyone else here I’m looking to move abroad.
I recently got an offer from a global asset management company to work at their office in my country (off site) and the salary is 5x my current salary. Global experience (even if its off site) would definitely help me get a job abroad. Anyways I handed in my resignation last week to my HoD.
A couple of days later I got a phone call from our CEO, who lives in New York btw. And he basically yells at me for 30 mins telling me how Im ruining my life etc. Then goes on to talk shit about every ex employee who resigned and how they fucked up their own lives by quitting etc.
However, one thing that shocked me was that towards the ends he said “so let’s meet after a year and we will see where you are in life and where we are (he was talking about the company i suppose)”.
So basically he’s challenging me to NOT fuck up.
