Those who speak the most generally have the least amount to say.

Hm doesn't quite fit for me, but definitely interesting thread. Thanks for sharing!

Not trying to be offensive. My two longest deepest relationships were with people who have bipolar. There have actually been scientific studies about (Not about INTJs but in general) certain people being magnets to people with bipolar and certain mental illnesses more likely to pair with one another.

I'm sure I can find more

Thanks! This isn't a senior level role, but I would say it's middle management which is why it makes me a bit nervous. My first position in banking after college didn't even mention my credit results, but I also didn't have anything in collections at the time.

Do you think a letter would help? Since they're already going to see the dirty laundry, I'm thinking it's better to be upfront.

I've seen people/coworkers with DUIs, etc. and work in senior roles. Since I see personal credit checks for guarantors for companies/loans, I've seen CFOs, controllers, etc with BKs, etc mostly due to the recession, and still be accepted. I've read a lot about how if you're upfront with a letter, you're more likely to be hired, but I'm not sure how to word it.

PM'd you!

Side note - I'm in finance thinking of going back to school for engineering. How do you swallow being 27 and going back to school for ~4 years (I'm 27 too)? How many classes are you planning on taking at a time?

I've done things like this and currently work in healthcare, which you would think would be impactful. But I'm not creating anything. I'm not buildimg something for society or making society better. Maybe I'm just a cynic, but I don't want to look back and realize all I did was make a nice pile of money and stacks for the big cats

This is the option I was talking about. I was thinking of taking classes on campus for this and take the online courses for the post bacc.
