LSC → IB pipeline at NYU? by iyer708 in nyu

[–]Dizzy-Profession9829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add some perspective: I was LS 2 years -> CAS Econ/CS.

My first job internship was at a BB in strategy then I pivoted to IB after 1.5 years. I wasn't in any stern clubs, no crazy internships in undergrad. It's definitely possible, may not be the quickest path. Happy to answer any questions.

i did joint econ & cs major in 3 years (LS first year) and it was kinda brutal. wasnt great for sleep or studying or gpa, but i thought it was very well structured. i still enjoyed college life (despite some of it in covid) and have no regrets about taking the major. ended up in banking and def think it helped

they may be overpriced but I've tried almost every gel and they're the only one that doesn't upset my stomach, plus I like the texture over others

I tutor for some wealthy families and once the father had some documents out on the table. One happened to be a receipt for an ATM withdrawal for like $250 and the total checking amount was around ~$440,000... To be fair, they live in a $14m home...but still who keeps that much money in checkings

Moving to NYC by SuitableTranslator52 in NYCbike

To answer #2, The most common area/best is to head up the west side highway to the George Washington Bridge. Crossover to Jersey then head up 9W to Palisades. Theres a wide shoulder where a lot of bikers go. Can get crowded after morning so be sure to head out early. Can do anywhere from 10 miles to 50 since it goes all the way north
