First Gen/ From Low-Income TMABY?
I was thinking how first gen students that grew up from low income backgrounds are viewed by investment bankers, specifically seniors? I feel like coming in with none of my parents knowing wtf finance is and 0 network and having to build everything from scratch is like a double-edged sword where I worked my ass off to be here but also feel weird that no one in my family is rich or can even speak english and idk if that’s viewed poorly. What are your thoughts and how can it be viewed during interviews because my plan is to be honest and tell them about it and how it led me to “XYZ interview”.
Thank you.
Know a lot of people from similar backgrounds who have landed great offers. You don’t want to say “i was poor growing up, my parents dont know anything about finance so i had to learn it all myself.” Instead, tell a story about who you are. Maybe your parents ran a small business, maybe you had side hustles to make cash, those sorts of things
