BB EQ Sales Asso - Rejected by P72 Academy

Hi All,

I'm a 1st yr Equity Sales Associate at a BB in HK. Trying to transition to a HF investor role - aware that they usually hire from MBA programs or ER. Recently applied to PT72 Academy for experienced professionals but got rejected.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
