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 episode, we catch up with Victor the same day after he finishes up his Series 7 top-off exam after a grueling few months of studying.

Listen to hear why he's headed to Hawaii for a few months

and the advice I give him in his ever-shifting plans.

Enjoy.

Okay, Victor, we were just talking offline. Why

don't you give the listeners a little update of what's going on with you? Wait, what exams do you

just take today? So I took a S-7 top-off today, and I did SIE Monday. So, was it? Was the seven

top-off much harder? Oh, yes, yes, it was much harder. But I'm not going to lie, I was prepping through past perfect. So I kind of finished like three weeks ahead of the schedule. So I've been just like a prepping, you know, final after final. I try to get my hands on on any kind of prep material. So past perfect, we would prepare you very well for it.

I think that material that actually studied was a lot harder than the top seven, to be honest.

Okay.

And then so you did SIE top off series seven.

And I got only 66 left and that is on January 25th.
