Post By @Alistair-Clark"
I think it's entirely possible to live a life free of regret while working an insane finance job — it just takes a little honesty, planning, and effort.Below are two activities that helped me take control of my life.

Marine Officer/Aviator Ask Me Anything
Post By @flewbye"
I overcame a very average GMAT and a weak effort in undergrad. I'm starting at a target school this fall for my MBA, 95% paid for by GI Bill/Yellow Ribbon plus a monthly housing stipend.

So, with all of that said, ask me anything.

Post By @StructuresOrBust"
I hope to be able to answer some questions from students hoping to break into finance. Particularly, I hope I can dispel the myth that it is impossible to break into a top HF/PE shop straight out of college because quite a few top buyside shops have reached a critical mass where they can host & train sizable analyst classes.
