New to WSO

Hello everyone,

I am new to Wall Street Oasis and I am looking for a mentor who can help me along and can show me the ropes in places in high finance. I did graduate from a nontarget with a dual major in finance and accounting from Texas Tech University back in 2019. Since then I have been most working in financial analyst roles in mortgage banking and currently in marketing, but am interested in a career somewhere in high finance, possibly investment banking or something else. There are a lot of different things out there. I am currently located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. How would you guys go about finding mentors/make the most out of it? Anything helps.

Thank you!
