Musings of a NT.

Enclosed in a stall at work on a “slower” Friday, instead of deal-making and WSJ covering (aligning slides and tweaking models) I decided to revisit an older post of mine.
(I deleted the body, but below is the synopsis)
Long ago, I had posted a complaint. Hungry to be an “investment banker”
Going on three years later and in the industry, it’s nice to step back and appreciate where I came from and how I got to where I am at now, especially on those 2AM nights in an uber home.

I am tired of gurus selling 4 figure courses that prey on my situation (non target, low income, etc) but I am dying to learn more and break in. What is actually worth the money/time, builds my technical skills, and will get me closer to an internship?deleted
