Career Advice for Jay

Hi All,

I am in need of some help. I am a rising senior at Umass Amherst. I am currently interning at BofA as an advisor development summer analyst. Previously, I worked as an investment intern. I have no idea what I want to do after graduation. I do not care how long or how hard I have to work. That being said, I am interested in positions that pay extremely well. However, umass is not a target school so I understand I have to be realistic when it comes to my search. I have put some thought into consulting and equity research out of pure interest and commercial lending due to contacts. I would love to hear other suggestions or any advice would be great!

Thank you, Jay
