It's been three academic years - just 2.5 calendar years. In the that time I've met and befriended completely new people, learned WAY more about finance than I ever imagined possible, hobbed with the nobs, revised my resume countless times and gone to any number of career fairs, interviews, and networking events, and soon . . .the real world.
It's challenging, making a career change. Have I done enough? Have I done the right things? Should I settle in to my field and simply apply towards management in that area? It's hard to say.
What' clear though is that school changed me for the better - and I had to change before that just to get in. I was an OK student before. I had to become much more organized before I could even imagine applying to Stern, and when I was accepted - it's been a log ride. Now, we're approaching the splash.
