Hi, my name is Patrick Curtis, CEO and founder of Wall Street Oasis, formerly an investment

banker and private equity professional.

I've been running WSO for over 18 years. We now have over 1 million registered members, and we've helped thousands of students place into the most competitive careers. In this video, I have a chat with Emily Zhang, one of our WSO Academy students that broke into Greenhill restructuring in New York from Canada. We go over how she did it, how Debussy

Academy helped her, and her one so much for joining us here.

I appreciate you taking the time.

I know you're getting ready to move out of the dorm, right, finishing up second year.

So love to just start.

So just a quick summary bio of who you are, where you are, and yeah, we'll just start there.

Yeah.

So my name's Emily.

I'm currently studying at Western University.

I was in philosophy for my first two years and now doing business with Ivy.

So I am Canadian and was very unfamiliar with recruiting in general and I guess the U.S.

is like recruiting scene as well.

Awesome.

So as explained to the people who aren't familiar, I guess, I'm obviously one of the top

business schools, right?

So in Canada, so in terms of placements in Canada, it's pretty strong, right?

So placements in Canada, it's pretty strong. I think what's a bit different is that we

have the 2 plus 2 program, essentially, you know, another major of your choosing for the first two

years, and then you move into business for like your last two years. So like I was in philosophy.

Cool. And then so when you started like first year, were you like investment banking all the way?
