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 hear about how Victor is settling into life in Southern California,

even though his car was stolen. Also, a quick surprise promotion as well. Listen to find out how.

All right, Victor, welcome to Southern California. Not that I'm here. Tell me a little bit about, yeah, what's the move, everything, what's going on in terms of the job and then we'll kind of go from there.

Absolutely. So basically I got here and hired as a financial representative and then two weeks

later they told them that they're promoting me or three weeks later which

is great now I'm a relationship manager and it's been great I I love Irvine I love southern

California and you know I love surfing too um I have a story to share with your uh listeners uh my car

last Saturday got stolen in the broad daylight and the

parking lot. It turned out that there's been a rage going on against the old cars, which is what

I had after, you know, you know, the personal story. So it was accurate in 1996. They just took it

in broad daylight, a parking lot from a mall, like a local mall.

I was there visiting friends.
