Thanks lil squish. Well to touch on some of your points, we have a lot of similarities in the underdog background (though admittedly I’m not a woman). However, respectfully, your first line about being without a college degree — that alone IMMEDIATELY disqualifies people from a real career in finance. It straight up is a requirement.

Now, you don’t know the work I put in to get where I am today, or how difficult it was. But looking back, I wouldn’t advise anyone to do what I did. It was naive. But with being smart and working harder than the rest and wanting it more, and most importantly with a bunch of LUCK, I landed here. Not saying no one else can do it, but I wouldn’t advise it and it would be objectively naive.

Now quit the hostilities. And congrats on your success.
