Ready to Take the Finance Plunge
Sorry about the message format, but the spam filter was giving me grief.
History: Salutatorian in high school. Couldn't make it at MIT due to behavioral addictions / immaturity. Switched to no-name school and got BA in computer science with 4.00 GPA.
Took a long time to regain health and motivation, but now at 30 and working for tech startup with a bleak future.
Wants to work in finance really, really badly (preferably as a trader at a hedge fund). Willing to work really long hours for free just to get his foot in the door. Lives in CT but willing to relocate to anywhere in the tri-state area.
Question for wise people knowledgeable in finance:
What should I do? Should I cold-call hedge funds in the area? Or perhaps take the GMAT and get some certifications first? What other courses of action should I consider?
Thanks for the advice.
No one is going to give you a book with no experience. Are you ready to be doing bitch work for a couple of years at 30?
