Bump
Well done.
Keep an eye out for experienced hire positions but definitely be prepared to spend at least another year in the position, perhaps even having to qualify first. Then likely to lateral to an A2/A3 position.
Hell yeah brother congrats on grinding
Roll tide brotha. Good work
Of course it’s possible and many people go from B4 to IB and build a finance career. I don’t think you being homeless makes a difference. Why would anyone give a shit? It’s about how you perform on the job.
Shows grit and hard work in the past, along with other desirable skills. Plus just generally inspiring. Stupid comment
I cannot possibly fathom working with someone who genuinely does not give any weight to someone grinding out of homelessness into the straight-and-narrow.
Well done brother
Major respect to breaking out of the homeless cycle man. World needs more people like you that avoid a victim mentality. I would say if you were able to overcome homelessness and get to big 4 M&A, lateraling to a bank shouldn't be too hard. I know big 4 M&A people that have lateraled to BB's at various different levels. Just gotta network and apply to apps whenever they come up. It might be tough to lateral right now though with the shitty economy and current recession that's likely to get worse. Will prolly have to wait till the Fed caves and starts cutting rates in like 2023 before the lateral market picks up again. Congrats again tho man. Really an inspirational story for people on here, and I'm sure you'll succeed in your future endeavors with that type of grit and tenacity.
Gotta give you my respect and props on getting into Big4 M&A. I would definitely start to network with former Big4 who went to BB/EB (if there's any), much easier if you knew them before they went to BB/EB. But i think realistically you'll need to go to MM first (with alumni/ties that went to major BB/EB) or grind another year or two in the Big4 M&A.
Yes, you will grind again but given your grit and background it definitely will be easier on you. Just be careful with your physical health since it might've fail you before your resolve breaks given the hard times that you've been through.
Focus your effort on networking and building relationship more on your 2nd year since it will go a really long way in the future.
Good luck and god speed to you mate.
Inspiring, thanks for sharing.
Godspeed
Congrats, very inspiring story. Wishing you the best of luck!
