Wish him well, but this is probably the most tepid rage-quit I've ever read. I also have no idea what he was doing or what he's going to do. His blog features "personal branding", an oxymoron, so he's got something of an uphill battle. Regardless, I say good luck Michael!
Is it the fact that he's a fraternity member or that he used the frat shorthand that bothers you?
I would say, like basically all groups of people, fraternities contain both good and bad people. They are also organizations that vary wildly based on the school they are located at. Without a dozen more data points about this person, I doubt it's safe to come to any conclusions about them.
He mentions that he used to work in investment banking. I'd say that makes it no surprise he's in a fraternity. Besides, investment banker throws a bigger warning my way than fraternity. But I'm sure there are some really nice bankers out there who would prove me quite wrong.
that's stupid, because too rise that high you work whole life... and when you rise that high, you have so much potential to build your own character with precious experience and knowledge.. if you want weddings, drinking beer, wasting time for nonsense, being lazy, you could've done that in small home city of nebraska.. but point of life is not to live and die.. it is to learn as much as possible before death.. that blog has no sense..
Yeah, this guy makes no sense. Let's throw away our personal life for more work. He brands himself as a 'personal branding expert' yet you can't find any links to what this guy actually did, or what his history is. He mentions his sister, yet never mentions her name. I have no idea of this is a kid who grew up in Chicago in squallor, or grew up rich in New York. On LinkedIn he says he went to Babson College in MA. At this point I think he's doing a bad job honestly.

And I have to say, the red flag was whether this was even real, or how much. Investment banking doesn't touch that for me.
