ABOUT ME

“I met with my boss, who was in his 50s. I told him how anxious I was about finding the one perfect
job for me, and quick. He asked me how old I was, and when I told him I was 25, he told me I couldn't complain to him about finding the right job until I
was 32. In his opinion, it takes about 10 years after college to find the right fit, and anyone who finds it earlier than that is just plain lucky. So use every bit
of your 10 years: try things, take classes, start over.”

to the tops of stacks, reveal interview questions with recommended answers....
That’s one reason men continue to dominate on Wall Street, where no
woman has run a big bank.”
