+-2 Why are you interested in the most severely structurally declining investing style? You will very likely not ever be in an LO generalist investing seat. Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+-2 Chances of IB let alone PE are very low without any relevant past internship. Societies are not really a differentiator unless you are senior at a large society. Best thing to do is try and get any experience you can Prospect in IB-M&A

+-2 It’s a job bro 😂 fTheVix
