I'm lucky enough to have grown professionally in an industry that allows for pseudonyms as the norm. As the industry keeps maturing and converging with tradfi, it's less clear to me how this will pan out, and when rocking an anime pfp will start to be detrimental to your business. The concept of operating under the same name on two completely separate spheres seems off to me. Why do I need to let my social circle know exactly what I do for work, and how well I do? And why would I need to let my work group know things about my personal life? Personally, I truly value the segregation. I'd feel very exposed if I were fully doxed, and also be wary of the serious opsec concerns that it would introduce in my life. I'm now left wondering if operating under pseudonyms is part of a broader cultural shift, and will remain the norm, or if it's a premium that one will pay in the future as traditional finance is skeptical of personal privacy as a default. I really hope it's the former.
