Thankyou WSO

To the WSO Community,

After my SA stint at a top bank on the Street, I'm thrilled to say I've accepted a FT offer to start in their IBD after graduation. This site gave me a tremendous amount of guidance and played a significant role in arming me with the information necessary to break into the industry. Coming from a non-target with no FO OCR opportunities, there were definitely challenges I had to overcome, but at the end of the day I wouldn't have done anything differently.

Another big thanks to the people who urged me to study abroad when I posted a forum about whether it would hurt my chances of landing an SA offer. My 5 months living and travelling in Europe last spring was the best time of my life, and after busting my ass this summer, I can sit back and enjoy senior year. Thanks again everyone!!

Cheers

 

Enjoy you're time
