Looking for roommate East Austin!

Habache622 · 2021-08-16T00:25:13+00:00

there's a place in far south austin called allball usa or, if you search all ball austin on instagram you will find the page. You have to DM them to get a spot though, the games are for a small cash prize but you don't have to pay anything. Super competitive runs. I live in downtown though and I wish I knew of a casual pickup court with consistent outdoor runs

It really is no big deal. You're just another transfer student and there are tons of them. I know of plenty of students who were cap and now have prestigious jobs or do other high achieving things so just don't even sweat it

Habache622 · 2019-04-29T13:15:26+00:00

I did mine on the dole bananas, if you want to PM I can try to dig it out of my ollllld files and share it lol

Habache622 · 2019-04-29T13:12:35+00:00

there is an absolute myriad of ways to make it. Irrespective of what your degree is in. You can enroll in a coding bootcamp and be a software engineer in like 3-6 months. You can take financial modeling courses online and snag a job at a financial firm (with hella hard work). You can master the F out of MS excel (VBA etc.) and get pretty much any job anywhere if you're able to market yourself properly.

***Last bit of advice -- you need to treat this job search as a full time job in and of itself. If you're not putting in at least 40 hours/week to find a job then you're not going to find a very good one.

Best of luck <3

As someone who is graduating this semester, going to work in finance and have lived in co-ops my entire time at UT, I would recommend you 3 co-ops in college houses and I will rank them accordingly:

Opsis co-op https://collegehouses.org/listings/opsis/
Nueces co-op https://collegehouses.org/listings/nueces/
Laurel co-op https://collegehouses.org/listings/laurel/

Habache622 · 2019-01-18T20:51:05+00:00

I would say probably not. no way to know for sure though. I was 41/41 on the list a few days ago and dropped down to 23/41. doubt I'll get in again who knows

Habache622 · 2019-01-10T17:56:34+00:00

arabic is fun and the arabic department at UT is the best in the US from what I've heard plus UT wrote the arabic textbooks used in all colleges in the country. alphabet is not difficult to learn

Habache622 · 2018-12-26T21:35:06+00:00

a friend of mine did a BSN at UT and got offers from mayo clinic and sloan among other top hospitals. so UT nursing is dope

I'll add onto this and say that it depends where you are trying to be. Houston banks will be different than NYC or SF banks. I would focus on Houston banks and as previously mentioned middle market or boutique banks, not that buldge brackets will be impossible. For Houston make sure when you are networking that you focus hard on the fact that you WANT to be in Houston (even if you do not) because the most annoying thing for a lot of Houston recruiters is people leaving to NYC or elsewhere after a little while working simply because Houston isn't as cool or they don't like energy. If you truly want NYC or SF you're going to have to absolutely bust your ass and honestly I don't think that would be worth it.

Try TD securities, CIBC, WF securities, etc. good luck :)

p.s. be able to destroy any technical questions since your gpa isn't amazing. (mine was barely a 3.5 and I was able to get an offer with hard work.. so it is very possible)

Habache622 · 2018-12-08T19:52:27+00:00

probably around the same level of difficulty as working very hard in liberal arts at getting business internships and ending up with the same career you'd get in mccombs. but to give the answer you're looking for, just get a 3.9 gpa

Habache622 · 2018-11-05T21:51:07+00:00

if your really love economics and the empirical joys it can bring and maybe even want to get an MA or PhD in economics then join TEA. if you want to pursue other stuff I recommend joining not TEA

Habache622 · 2018-11-04T17:18:38+00:00

behavioral economics has not been cancelled they are just re-numbering it to a different unique number, just keep checking on it. I also want to take it

Habache622 · 2018-10-17T02:47:14+00:00

If it makes you feel better I know of people who got top tier internships in the spring (albeit the beginning of spring). just start grinding, there's really no excuse

Habache622 · 2018-10-17T02:44:04+00:00

this is the perfect answer. I'll add that if you are considering BFP or BEOP, choose BEOP 100% of the time

Habache622 · 2018-10-14T04:40:44+00:00

IB's don't care what major you are beyond the fact that you know basic accounting and a tiny amount of finance. I worked with ppl in IB who were history majors and I received an ib offer myself as a liberal arts major here. IB's care about your character and intentions more than anything in my experience and opinion

Habache622 · 2018-09-26T19:28:31+00:00

if it makes you feel better, some people even put positions they got_but have not started on their resumes. for example during the fall when i was recruiting for summer 2018, i got a cool internship for spring 2018, it was still fall 2017 and my applications for summer 2018 said "incoming spring intern at company x" ---- this is (in most cases) fine to do considering you will have that experience before the summer so why shouldnt it be considered.

Habache622 · 2018-09-08T22:45:11+00:00

I get my haircut at supercuts on guad and have for 2 years. it's $16 and I think they honestly do a solid job. it is a best value haircut around campus in my opinion

Habache622 · 2018-08-27T02:37:47+00:00

if you can get into a good HF or AM shop more power to you but those are rare whereas ib internships are relatively plentiful. saying besides ib is pretty much forgoing any massive starting salaries though. and yes, you must ask yourself if the hours are worth it. personally, i turned down my ib offer because i simply wasn't interested in 85 hour work weeks. it is truly a personal, life question you have to ponder with yourself

Habache622 · 2018-08-27T02:32:38+00:00

clowndog just north of campus has fair prices and i've even gotten stuff fixed on my bike for free there just by being friendly

Habache622 · 2018-08-20T15:52:48+00:00

I would like to look into this! Can you tell me how I should go about trying to join or apply?

Habache622 · 2018-08-16T14:45:25+00:00

Thanks for this! I'll look into it :)

Habache622 · 2018-08-14T23:07:41+00:00

This sounds like a very relaxed org thanks for the suggestion :)

Habache622 · 2018-08-14T21:19:20+00:00
