My Trip to New York City: Off to the Big Apple

Updating you all on my personal life. This week, I will be flying out to New York City in order tonew_york_city network with an array of professionals within the industry. The goal is to meet as many individuals as possible to learn more about the business, required skill sets, and diverse career paths in the industry. I hope to learn as much about Sales and Trading as possible and learn the ins and outs of how to succeed within this cut-throat industry. Since I go to Arizona State, top Investment Banking firms don’t come and recruit on campus so I have to take the initiative myself and go out there to show them what I can offer. Excited to finally make my mark on Wall Street and see the place in which I hope to embark my career in only a few years. Also, excited to travel around New York and see the sites in my down time. Will update you throughout the week to tell you how the trip goes and will post pictures. Excited for the experience except its going to be a change of scenery leaving sunny Tempe, Arizona to go to the snow. Stay tuned!!!
