Finally finishing up FT recruiting

Just wrapped up FT recruiting and landed a NYC IB in a great group that im super happy about after not landing a return at a bank in NYC this past summer. just wanted to write to give hope to those who were in a similar situation. Such an uphill battle but so possible if you keep pushing!!
