I don't have financial /technical skills compared to a lot of the people I was with during my internship. What I do have is proven leadership and sales skills.
The aspect that draws me to investment banking is the sales and networking part of the business. By knowing myself, I won't excel...at excel.
Where do I fit in?
Should I consider another career path?
Thanks in advance!
