"It was in banking that I finally realized why the internet sucked," says Rohit Jha, co-founder and CEO of Transcelestial.
The article discusses the journey of Grant Blakeman, a 36-year-old former banker and sci-fi enthusiast, who left his lucrative job at Goldman Sachs to pursue his passion for space exploration.
