THANK YOU EVERYONE!

I just wanted to write a quick thank you to literally everyone who contributes in any way to this forum. I'm a college senior and I've been reading posts in here since freshman year. 

Total non-target, joined a trading club, no network/connections to the industry at all, horrible gpa. No internship sophomore year, junior year internship at super small regional bank in a non-related business group. Just landed an offer in the group of my dreams at dream company, #1 location choice, incredible salary purely based off of what I learned here, studying as much as possible, and having a personality. 

Cheers everyone, I'm off to drink the bubbly.
