Q&A: Cash me on da gram, how bout dat?

All, I will be doing an "ask me anything" thread on the stories function of the WSO Instagram account tomorrow. I was both surprised and honored that I was asked to do a Q&A. I'm looking forward to sharing what I've learned and hopefully helping out some other users as well. This community has done so much for me as a blue-collar kid from a complete non-target background with no clue and no connections. I can't say enough about how thankful I am for WSO and how honored I am to be asked to help out. I will do a full traditional style "WSO success story and Q&A" thread here on the forums eventually, but probably six months or a year down the line. My background: High School Billy Badass--->Junior College---> Non-Target State--->Public Accounting----> Consulting---> Mid-Level Buy Side Role, CFA, CPA (and extremely thankful/happy I kept pushing) -Sonny LoSpecchio (from "A Bronx Tale")
