Hello and welcome. I'm Patrick Curtis, Chief Monkey of Wall Street Oasis, and this is Monkey

to Millions, a show where you get a front row seat as I mentor young students and professionals

to try and help them break into their dream jobs.

In the first cohort, you'll meet four students, all preparing for intense job interviews

while trying to also balance a personal life and schoolwork.

The goal of this show is to shine a light on the struggles of trying to break into

competitive positions with a non-traditional background,

and to give you a roadmap for your own success.

My hope is that as you get to know these four impressive students, you're inspired to dream big.

Remember, these are real people, and this is their true story.

Let's get to it.

In this session, Grace shares her experience working at City as a summer analyst across two groups.

Listen to some important lessons and what her plans are for junior year since she already

has her Blackstone internship lined up for next summer. Enjoy.

Okay, Grace, it's been a while. It is now the summer is over.

And I think last time we spoke, it was right before you were starting city.

I think so, yes.

And so what's going on?

How was the summer?

Did you survive?

It was really good.

It was a completely virtual internship, unfortunately.
