Wish me luck!

Everyone, thanks due in part to a lot of great info here on WSO, I have received my first phone interview in Equity Research. Phone interview is Friday morning. Wish me luck! Thanks to all of you who were a part of my information gathering. I'll drop a line after to update if I make it through to round 2.

No... I'm a newbie trying to break into the industry for the first time.

Undergrad or a totally new industry? I am in consulting and have a growing interest in E.R.

Using MBA to rebrand. Undergrad in religious studies--dropped out of grad school in 2010 due to not knowing what I wanted to do, doing sales for F500 tech company for past 5 years. Didn't like what I was doing... Now here I am.

I'd be careful with your anonymity man. You never know who is reading these boards.

Gotcha... Thanks for the tip! I'm sort of new here, so I'll definitely keep that in mind.
