JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says he’s eyeing up book deals and teaching gigs when he steps away from his decades-long career at the banking giant
Workers daydream of the moment they can clock out of work for good, kick their feet up, and bask in their indefinite downtime. However, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has just revealed that his retirement will be the second act of his career.
“l’ll do business with people I like,” Dimon told Axios of his plans for after he steps down as CEO in a recent interview.
“I’m gonna probably write a book, maybe more about management and stuff like that, and I might do one on the financial crisis. There’s a lot of stuff that really people don’t fully understand about what happened.”
The 70-year-old banking giant legend said that teaching is also on the table—a popular gig for leaders with decades of industry expertise. Former General Electric (GE) chief executive Jeff Immelt, who led the $370 billion industrial giant for 16 years, went on to become a lecturer at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. Plus, Dimon threw in the possibility of “something around a media-related thing.” No matter what post-CEO career he follows, he’ll be kept busy.
“I have got to do something,” Dimon said on the Acquired podcast last year. “I’m not going to twiddle my thumbs and smell the flowers.”
JPMorgan Chase declined Fortune’s request for comment.
