In this episode, member Real_Estate_PE shares his path coming from a top target school in Italy. We learn what he did when he got no responses for his Summer internship applications, how he was able to land an off-cycle internship at a bulge bracket bank, why he ended up in real estate and how he is headed to a megafund soon.

In this episode, I'll be chatting with WSO's new finance research intern team and answering specific questions about the internship itself, career planning and more.

In Part 2, we pick up from Part 1 and learn how WS is able to make an internal transition at his bulge bracket bank to get even closer to the actual trading, eventually becoming Vice President on the High Yield Credit desk before another sudden turn of events would leave him out of a job for 6 months. Find out how he ended up at an even better Bulge Bracket after a half-year hiatus, but this time in a research capacity and why he left after less than 2 years to finally join a hedge fund putting his ideas to work. 

In this episode, WS_PWND shares his background in classical music and performance prepared him for some of the most competitive jobs in finance. In Part 1 of 2, we learn about the accident that changed everything and the big break he got right after the Great Financial Crisis to land his first job in finance in the back office. Listen to hear how he turned that opportunity into his first of many transitions to a front office role to become a Leveraged Finance Originations Analyst at a regional firm to the same role at a bulge bracket bank and what that meant for his career.
