Boustead Securities

Hi Guys,

After sending thousands of emails/LinkedIn messages, I finally got an opportunity for an internship with Boustead. 

I have a subpar GPA, from a non-target, and no finance experience. I did work full time in school in Real Estate but now that I'm graduated, I want to work in finance (I only did real estate to pay for school). 

My buddy who is in investment banking said if I wanted to go into PE to not waste my time there and to get a job in corporate M&A or another firm. 

What do you guys think?
