Breaking Into Finance

Ep47 - From Howard to Bulge Bracket (Taylor Weekes, Analyst @ Goldman Sachs)


Listen Later

On this episode I catch up with Taylor Weekes, who is currently a first-year investment banking analyst at a bulge bracket bank. We touch on a variety of topics including Taylor's path to IB, advice for learning the technicals, strategies for seeking professional mentors and advisors, and her experience as a Black woman in finance.


Taylor and Craig first met when she was a Sophomore at Howard and participated in the inaugural Wharton Partners In Equity Case Competition that he helped organize as an MBA student, so this episode was a fun reunion!
