Finance Analyst at the largest fruit company(rhymes with Snapple) in the Silicon Valley.
Hi everyone! I have been lurking on WSO for a couple of years. I happened to land a position at the largest fruit company in the Silicon Valley (rhymes with Snapple) a year out of college. I work as a Business Analyst that understands the requirements, writes the technical spec docs, and builds the reporitng/planning systems for the corporate forecasters at the company. I also understand the corporate forecasting position thoroughly.
I graduated December 2012 with my BA in Economics and Accounting from a top 50 school in the nation. I transferred from community college and experienced difficulty in landing finance related internships. My resume is somewhat on the technical side, and I would like to alter it to be more marketable to the high end finance organizations. I have very advanced excel skills from vba macros, xhtml, javascript, maxl, and sql.
I am looking to WSO to help me break into Private Equity, Investment banking, and M&A services at one of these firms. I am not really worried about the pay since I am pretty sure I will out earn most of the people working in these position if i continued down this path and eventually become a SAP-Big Data consultant. (I make 110k atm. Projected to make 300k at Age 25 if i go down the Big data path)
Thanks!

Honestly dude, if I were you I would try to take advantage of your Silicon Valley location and move into the Tech Industry. Don't get me wrong, California has some world-class produce companies, it's just that most of the action is in Central California, just south of the Silicon Valley. You're in a bit of a weird limbo position tbh. Also, in general, agriculture to finance is not a particularly proven path. Just saying.
lol. Nice.
@Nouveau Richie" kidding you are, please?
