Advice from 50+ of the best investors & dealmakers: How to Succeed on Wall Street

Hi fellow monkeys!


Do you want free career advice from the best on Wall Street?

I’m a senior at Harvard co-authoring a book that shares how the best of the best built their Wall Street careers — and shares how you can use those tactics at every step of your career. I’ve interviewed 50+ influential investors and deal makers on Wall Street, including people like Eileen Murray (Co-CEO of Bridgewater), Carla Harris (Morgan Stanley), and Stephanie Cohen (Chief Strategy Officer of Goldman Sachs).

As part of the book, I’m surveying top undergraduates about their interest in finance. If you’re an undergrad, I’d love to know your thoughts about finance — the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I promise this survey only takes 30 seconds to complete — and you could win a $25 Amazon gift card and a signed copy in exchange!! Practically free money.   Link is below in the comments :)

Also, follow the book (@makingmidas) on Instagram for updates on the book and to get free career advice from the best on the Street!
