Below is the farewell email I sent yesterday to my colleagues at work:
As many of you are well aware, today is my last day at Merrill Lynch. “Why?” you ask. Well… it’s not you, it’s me. After three plus years in the financial services industry, I have decided to pursue my dream of becoming a food writer/editor and chef. Although I have definitely learned a lot throughout my time here and will likely always be an investor, I have discovered that what was my job should become a hobby and what was once a side passion should become my career. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all of you over the years and hope our paths will one day meet again.
Regards,
Aaron Hutcherson
I’m so happy for you (and a little jealous :P)!!!!!! I’m so excited to watch the hungry hutch continue to grow.
Thanks!
Hey Hutch! I am absolutely proud and happy for you! You will definitely do great things and excel well by following your passion for cooking. Definitely let me know if ever you need anything. I’m definitely a big Hungry Hutch fan!
Thanks De!
That’s great. I envy you, as this Sr. Financial Analyst would love to do the same. In the meantime, I just continue to blog about food. Congrats and on your new venture!
Thanks! Keep up with the eating and traveling!
