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, Co-Crew shares his path from a non-target university to a bulge bracket investment

banking analyst's role. We learned how he was able to land multiple relevant internships

and how his networking emails yielded such a high response rate.

Listen to hear how his first foray into private equity recruiting was a train wreck and how he

turned it around only four months later. Enjoy.

Okay, co-cru, thanks so much for joining the Wall Street Oasis podcast.

Yeah, very happy to be here. Thanks for having me.

school.

Took a sharp, you know, left turn, kind of had a few people that I went to school with that were going into finance,

thought it was super interesting, was also doubling in some kind of like business school related

courses. So after a lot of soul searching and talking to a lot of different people, you know,

decided to give it a shot. Had a few kind of banking and finance related internships pretty early on.

So it gave me like a flavor for what I was stepping into.
