NYC Networking & Establishing Connections 2022

I accepted a 2022 FT associate role in NYC at a boutique IB in Midtown coming from a non-traditional + non-finance background 

I wanted to drop a note on WSO given the forum has been quite helpful over the years. I know many of y'all are probably in similar positions, and if anyone wants to connect to explore, catch up in the city, or expand each other's networks - feel free to PM me!

It's a big move for me coming from the south, but I'm looking forward to the journey and connecting.
