[Advice Needed] Confused and no idea what to do - Freshman at an Eastern European country
WSO forum, I need your help.
I'll keep this post as simple and real as I can.
About myself:
I am a freshman at an Eastern European country. Major: International Economics and Finance.
Between school and university, I spent 3 years working in villages helping in innovation management, plus leading a large student organization and a start-up of my own.
Personal:
I am more sort-of a person who is willing to go for international travel etc.
Problem:
I am looking for Summer gigs this coming year - internships etc. Hoping to work in United States and/or Europe in the long term. (Personally prefer Europe more but its not an issue)
I can say I am pretty good at: research work, public speaking/presentation, both Excel and PowerPoint, general finance and economics etc.
I always thought I have interest in both Consulting and Banking sphere, but I cannot point out exactly what/where.
My uni, unfortunately, has no dedicated career office. and I don't have too many people to ask.
I find WSO forum to be such a gem, but all the talk here makes me confused: S&T, Hedge fund, Buy-side/Sell-side, Venture Capital etc. I read what these terms mean and sort-of understand but still it makes me very confused as to what exactly to choose in terms of career.
This could be detrimental since I am at a critical stage where I must know what to do and which door to choose.
In short - kindly help me understand the clear differences between such terms like: IB/Hedge Fund/Consulting etc.
Also, your personal opinion based on my post as to what you think might be a good fit for me.
(This can be a starting point for me as to research further)
Kindly help, I am very very confused here.
Thanks!
I'm not sure how anyone can help you when your criteria is "Job that does not travel much and does not work too many hours" since there are, you know, tons of those jobs. But investment banking and consulting are two of the few jobs that don't fit that criteria, so you need to look at that, as well. Really you just need to continue digging through the site, through any materials online, visit your career services office, etc and try to soak up as much information as you can find. Because we can't point you in a direction when you, personally, have no idea.
