This is a delayed record of a major step toward my graduation. I accepted the job offer from the Board on Feb 28 (Wednesday), the last day of Feb. The decision was made 1 hour after CD made me an offer from BGI. By turning them down, I turned away from higher salary, comfortable living in SF close to the in-laws. Yet there is something irreplacable about the Board that attracts me--the ability to observe the financial world from 1000 miles above, rather than being in it. Ed laughed about my using of the word "altruistic", in refering to the difference between the public and private sector. Yet, that was really helping me make the decision.
I'd say that I'm really a typical irrational economic agent. I place a high value in the "optionality" provided by a Board career, and my utility function obvioulsy included both monetary value and social value.
