I knew that I wanted to study Computer Science. Growing up in California, I always assumed that I would end up in the aerospace industry. However, while attending college in New York, the majority of the companies recruiting for technology positions were in the financial industry, which happened to be a side interest of mine. Goldman Sachs proved to be a perfect fit.
I would advise those seeking a career in finance to read the business section of their newspaper every day. Strive to understand what drives business, how global events affect different sectors and the various services that full service investment banks provide. You’ll be fascinated.
