Share your story! What do you do and are you happy?

Hey all,

As an undergraduate finishing up school in May 2025 I would love to hear your stories!

What do you do?

Do you like what you do?

What was your career path?

What is your total comp?

How many years have you been in the industry?

Would you do anything differently if you could start over again?

If you are new to your job, do you see yourself sticking with it long term or are you looking to move elsewhere? Where would you move?

Good firms/ bad firms (any industry)?

Any other tips/ advice?

Thank you in advance to those who decide to share!
