Hello and welcome.

I'm Patrick Curtis, your host and Chief Monkey, and this is the Wall Street Oasis podcast.

Join me as I talk to some of the community's most successful and inspirational members

to gain valuable insight into different career paths and life in general.

Let's get to it.

In this episode, member Yakino shares his interesting path to high finance, from attending

a program in university that had him going to school in Italy, Hong Kong, and California,

to breaking into a summer analyst role in London

at a U.S. bulge bracket investment bank.

Listen to how he navigated each transition and his tips on recruiting as well as his thoughts

on the differences between investment banking and megafund private equity in London.

Enjoy.

All right.

Yeah, Kino, thanks so much for joining the Wall Street Oasis podcast.

Hi, Patrick.

Glad to be here.

Thank you for having me.

It would be great if you could just give the listeners a short summary of your bio.

Absolutely.

My pleasure.

So born and raised in Italy originally and then I moved to study business administration

for a degree in a particular program that led me to study in three different continents
