I know that it's always been a dream of mine to start a business of my own and pave my own way in the world and I'm sure I'm not alone. With that said,...
the startup
I have the opportunity to start a tech company seeded by a partner at a large pe firm. I also have the opportunity to move to ibd from ER at my firm this summer. What do I do?

Startup: CEO vs. CFO?

Is it legal to run your own start-up while working FT? I know sites like WSO were started by IBankers, but they are forums/information sites. What about sites that actually offer a product/service and charge for it?

Startup experience vs. Consulting internship
I have a few questions about my chances with consulting (and other) firms in this year's recruitment. First, I'll be a senior at a top 10 school, bad GPA (3.4 because I didn't do anything as a freshman), studying Industrial Engineering and Economics with a minor in Math. I've had one summer...
