In this episode of The Coffee Chat Podcast, our guest Wayllon Lu shares his journey from discovering finance in high school to landing a role at a top investment bank — and why he decided to leave the traditional Wall Street path for a leadership role in corporate operations. We explore lessons from non-target school recruiting, networking strategies that actually work, the balance between technical skills and personality in interviews, and what it really takes to thrive in high-pressure environments.
