Of course you better be ready to capitalize on the opp but if you’re not prepared you would never know that an opp of a lifetime just whizzed by you. Met a guy in his early 30s in one of NYSSA meetings - at an irish bar - who was in back office but was looking to get into research or really anything front office. he took multiple self study financial modeling courses and was a cfa charterholder. i am connected with him on linkedin and right now he is an ER for a bank. not bad after 9 years of back office and from a cuny school.
Kevin Roose “Young Money” if I’m picking up what you’re putting down. Interesting read but there should be a disclaimer that Kevin started writing with an agenda and since the death of BAMLs German IB intern and some other events, there has been some change to culture.
