WHY ARE WE YELLING?
Whatever you’ll be best at. These “qualifications” don’t really mean muchc
>writing on a forum like a formal letter
>excessive capitalization
>completely unrelated majors in the same group of discussion
>bad spacing between bullets and numbers along with inconsistent colon spacing
Yup, if you know you know
I came from the actuarial world as well. I now work in research for a BB. Based on your qualifications, and the structure/tone of your post, I can virtually promise you that you don't want to work in IB. Even if you did, you'd have a very hard time convincing one to take you. What you know how to do just flat out is not useful in IB. Quant could be a better fit. Asset management would be a tough sell without some solid securities experience. Good luck!
WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?
Quam incidunt aut dicta velit aut quaerat distinctio. Quo saepe similique quae itaque. Assumenda tempore nobis ex ut. Fugit aut a ea delectus maiores enim aliquid.
