Hi, my name is Patrick Curtis, CEO and founder of Wall Street Oasis.

This chat is with Connor, a former Debussy Academy student that was able to break into

Lazard and Messman banking in New York from Texas A&M.

He joined in the summer after his freshman year and he has a critical tip for technicals

that you don't want to miss. Enjoy. All right, Connor, thanks so much for joining us today.

Really appreciate it.

Yeah, thank you for having me.

So it would be awesome if you could just give the listeners a quick summary of your

bio.

Sure, yeah.

My name is Connor Papritsa.

I'm a rising junior at Texas A&M.

There, I'm an econ major and involved in a variety of finance-related organizations and a couple

of ethnic organizations as well.

A little bit about my professional experience. I worked at wealth management my freshman year.

Then this next summer, or in a couple of weeks, I will be interning at Entoro.

It's a Houston-based investment bank, focused on the middle market. And then next summer,

I will be a summer analyst at Lizard in their New York office focusing on M&A infrastructure.

So not bad. Texas A&M to New York Ivy, a leap boutique. Pretty good outcome. So let's start,

let's go back a little bit. And a freshman year, you did have that wealth management internship kind of freshman summer,

but was it freshman year where you kind of knew what investment banking was or when did you

figure out that might be something you want to pursue? Talk to me a little bit about that.
