This is how I made it .......
High school dropout - waited until I was 21 to attend University
University Business results excellent - straight to Big 4 audit
2 years in audit and moved into Big 4 corporate finance
1 year later back to University to take MBA
Back out to BB Corporate Banking team - 100k plus base
Now moving into Boutique M&A team where we all want to work :-)
Yeah-haw

That sounds like a long miserable road to wind up at a boutique M&A shop but congrats on being employed and not living off my massive tax contributions. What kind of moron drops out of HS?
Henry Ford, Richard Branson, John D. Rockefeller, Albert Einstein, and Peter Jennings to name a few.
Just saying is all.
Don't forget Cher!
corporate banking roles interesting. are these all in BB firms? not talked about much but interesting blend of sell side (deal maker) and buy side (investing in good debt i.e. giving good loans). Anybody work in the field?
how was the audit experience?
Maxime fugit praesentium sit et. Blanditiis pariatur non labore in consectetur qui illo. Quasi laboriosam dolorum modi quibusdam est dolore maiores.
Veniam eos qui expedita et qui. Nam est consequatur autem. Vel temporibus velit molestiae iusto.
