OK. So given that, what is the best course of action for someone with 0 connections, a simply Finance degree (with a horrid GPA), and 0 experience in the industry who wants to get into corporate finance?

Well Im just trying to gauge where exactly I should go from here. I understand its alot of hard work. That, I am prepared to do. Altho the lack of sleep part does not go over well with me. I just want to be paid well. What do you think is the most "comfortable" finance position that pays...

Hello everyone, I am a Finance grad but wasn't at all into it during university. Now I feel matured and ready to tackle what I know I was meant to do. But I have many questions. I am 25 now and would like to become a full time trader in the hopes of eventually working for a top hedge fund or...
