> investing in the same sector that you are employed-in is actually a kind of anti-diversification
You can reduce your microeconomic risks by making investments in and around your sector of occupation. Especially when betting against yourself.
For example, someone who works in the electric vehicle space could reduce their risk by making personal investments in ICE companies, just in case EV adoption is slower than expected. A person who works in a payment processor could invest in visa/mastercard, to protect from the risk of fee rises. A privacy tech investor could put money into adtech, so they can make money whoever wins.
