-: There's definitely a fear of making that jump
and working in finance, there seems to be
a clearer cut path to getting to the type of job I have,
which is the investment banking associate job
for two years, go to get your MBA,
and pursue after that.
I took an atypical path.
I'd say I was lucky.
I had people that were looking out for my best interest,
and I also connected myself to those people
because I saw that they were interested in promoting me.
There takes a certain amount of that throughout your career.
People who are interested in your wellbeing,
maybe altruistically, and finding those people,
maybe you could call them mentors,
and have them help you open doors.
It's difficult, it wasn't easy,
there's some luck involved.
I would say you have to try, and without trying,
you'll never know.
