+10 if you want more upside, join a HF or a startup. srsly, $300 isn't that big a #. different paths though with much higher variance of outcomes iMamba
+10 Prestige is not having to work a W2 80 hours a week. The most prestigious people I know surf in the mornings and send two-word response emails from their iPhone.  CRE

+10 Wells joebrrr123
+10 Dartmouth - no looking back. Prospect in Non-profit
