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 real estate PE shares his path coming from a top target school in Italy.

We learned what he did when he got no responses for summer internship applications,

how he was able to land an off-cycle internship at a

bullet bracket bank, why he ended up in real estate and how he is headed to a mega fund soon. Enjoy.

Okay, real estate, PE. Thanks so much for joining the Wall Street Oasis podcast.

Thank you for having me, Patrick.

Good to be here. It'd be great if you could just give the listeners a short summary of your bio.

Sure. So I'm originally Italian, as you can probably tell from my thick accent.

And from a small town in northern Italy, I studied at a target school in Italy as well.

I did like the pretty standard Italian finance path that is basically a bachelor in finance.

And then like straight after continuing with a master also in finance there is like the

standard five-year uni path for for Italian students and then yeah so during my my bachelor I studied in the US actually it was a wonderful

experience something that really really helped me figure out what I what I wanted to do like

you know getting in touch with a different culture in the US. You know, in Italy, the university is very academic while in the US is much more like,

you know, group projects and much more interactive.

So it was...

Are you saying we party more than in Italy?
