But out of curiousity, what would you want to have been doing or have as a career goal if it was pre-2007? What firms would you want to work for and positions would you target?
I just find it interesting to learn a bit about recent history as I am a bit ignorant to what a 23-25 year old analyst/associate would've been like then.

if it was pre 2007, I would be a 12 year old, probably chilling in 7th grade, still trying to figure out how babies are made
