I heard about the firm through a classmate who was just recruited there. I applied to my current job through my school's job board. Had a phone interview and an on-site interview and got hired around graduation.

Courses taken since graduation

Master's in Finance

My advice to students considering work

Start EARLY, do internships, and network

Skills I use and how I developed them

Technical: Excel (Training the Street); Stata (School); SAS (Work)
Academic: Industrial Organization; Accounting; Econometrics
Soft: Communication; Organization (of files etc., from work) and Presentation

What I like most

Some of the analyses are very interesting and intellectually stimulating, all my colleagues are extremely supportive, and the culture is academic and laid back.

What I like least

Hours could be long sometimes.

What surprised me most

The projects can run very long, sometimes for years.
