pretty good
You're in WM Isaiah, right?
I could never do it. It's an eat what you kill industry. What puts bread on the table isn't finance skills it's personal skills.
I'm not in WM and never could be. I am very introverted even though I do a lot of sports (well did them before my work schedule went crazy). I'm analytical and have experience as a financial analyst in corporate finance. WM is sales heavy. I suck at sales. But, hopefully will do a FT MBA starting next year and am interested in PE, VC, Corp Dev, and if I can't get into those, I'll go back to corp fin.
Where will the MBA be at?
