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, Chris shares his winding path from the University of Miami all the way to his

current role as an investment analyst that Titan, a fast-growing fintech firm.

We cover a lot in this episode, including his role in the back

office at a bulge bracket investment bank, why he was trying to get out before his role even started,

how he transitioned to a boutique investment bank on the West Coast, what he did when that blew up,

how he was duped into taking a Corp Finn position that promised the world, his amazing experience

working at a family office, his

quarter life crisis, and finally his new investment analyst's role at Titan. Buckle up and enjoy.
