永不放弃 - 即使你愚蠢的指南
Longtime lurker. First post.
About me:
I'm originally from the South. Growing up, I hated school. I'm talking about failing multiple classes, dreading going to school, and even getting suspended many times. I was diagnosed with ADD at a young age, but never wanted to take my meds (till I started to again in college and realized why everyone wanted Adderall). My freshman year in high school was the first time I actually applied myself to my classes. And I still failed.
我高中一年级时,我爸爸有一个新的job. Thus, my entire family moved up North. I went to a new school, and had no friends. This would be a life defining moment for me. Since I had no friends, I decided to start my own business. (This business is now generating six figures in revenue). I also participated in a schoolwide stock trading tournament, and I came in fourth place. This was the first time I realized I was actually good at something, and it happened to be something I really enjoyed. From that moment on, I was hooked.
大学
My freshman year I opened up my own brokerage account, and by my sophomore year I had generated a return of over 15%. I was overjoyed. I also continued growing my business; I focused on targeting a niche market that larger companies seemed to ignore.
大二之后,我与一家小银行获得了第一次实习。这是我真正意识到自己想从事金融服务的时候。manbetx 2.0下载我在这次实习中努力工作,并获得了回报。我报告要将我与他认识的人联系在一起的分析师。
My junior year I leveraged that connection and got a first round interview at aBB。我接受采访的心态是,银行很幸运能采访我。我很自信,这表明。我被摧毁了。
下来电话后,我被压碎了。但是我没有放弃。我买了华尔街准备指南(2018世界杯狗万滚球app ),并发送了300多封电子邮件。我加入了我的学校投资俱乐部,并与以前经历过面试过程的大孩子建立了联系。我采访了14家不同的公司。第14家公司给了我一个要约。正是在这一刻,我意识到持久性是关键。
Through the rest of my junior year, I was a regular attendee at my schools investment club. I became an integral member, and learned as much as I could. I still sucked at school (GPA <3.5), but I tried extremely hard. As the saying goes, "it's hard to beat a person who never gives up". While I had a GPA that was lower than basically every other kid in the club, I was one of few who had landed a great internship at a major US Bank.
But, once again I went into the internship a cocky motherfucker (I should of learned by now). I didn't receive a return offer. And like before, I was crushed.
我大四时,我疯狂地建立了联系。我多次旅行NYC与校友见面,并获得了回报。到秋季学期结束时,我已经收到了一家位于主要金融中心(Not NYC)的资产管理公司的报价。
cut
Myself and a good amount of other new hires showed up for training the very first day, bright and early. It went like this for another month. Then, the firm cut us.
这完全是蓝色的。一次,这不是我自己的行为。我和大约25个孩子完全震惊。我已经在一个新城市签署了租约,现在我没有工作(幸运的是,通过我的业务,我已经节省了大约50,000个)。我在星期五早上被解雇,那天我唯一记得的是“我失去工作后立即做的事情,我将永远记得”。因此,我回到公寓,那天下午发送了50封电子邮件。
接下来的五天,我发送了400多封电子邮件。(我吃了Adderall,就像糖果是糖果的)我已经进行了15多次信息访谈和3次实际访谈。再过10天,我已经在1公司进行了第四轮采访。我被告知我的第五轮和最后一轮面试将在我失去第一笔工作后的1个月内进行。
Finally
5天后,我提出了要约。在世界上最伟大的城市。
故事的道德启示?
不要放弃。即使生命在您身上开玩笑(由于您自己的行动或无法控制的事件),也永远不会放弃。持久性是关键。如果一个有重大添加的孩子可以进入华尔街,那么您也可以。

That's that hardcore hustle. Dude didn't have time to cry "why me" after losing his job. Got right back on that horse. Respect.

SB-ed,这实际上是我(除了startup and trading部分),我也有严重的多动症,有时会让我觉得自己真的很愚蠢。一旦我开始第一次实习,尽管我意识到我不再需要刺激刺激,因为我真的很喜欢我的工作。
lmao, you had the luxury of starting a business when you were 14-15 but you are trying to come off as someone who was severely disadvantaged.
有趣的是,请阅读。

不确定您所说的“奢侈品”是什么意思。当他的其他朋友 /同龄人在树林里喝啤酒 /闲逛 /玩体育运动时,他可能在那里打磨 /发送电子邮件 /收入为他的公司收入...
^^我想和朋友一起出去玩很多夜晚,但我做不到。
恭喜你!
感谢分享。您能谈谈您的业务吗?让我知道,如果您更喜欢谈论PMS。
+1。坚实的职位。
追求它,不要生气,并在被切割后为自己感到难过。
"That was basically college for me, just ya know, fuckin' tourin' with Widespread Panic over the USA."
忘了报价,但它像“生活中唯一不会让你失望的事情就是艰苦的工作”
Cool story, congrats. +1
what business are you running ? e-commerce ?

恭喜 - 您的毅力和坚韧不拔,并真正偿还了OP。我期待希望在一年左右的时间内发表类似的职位。
我钦佩你的毅力。我会利用同样的持久性来提高我的语法技能并成为更好的作家.....将其取得价值。
您随时可以将似乎是负面体验变成垫脚石。恭喜,请保持毅力!
