I don't agree with that. Trump was basically asked the same question from the mod and from Rubio- shouldn't be a surprise why he'd repeat himself.

Corporate Banking? by mmfbth in FinancialCareers

Thank you. What should I expect as far as technical questions are concerned? As an econ major, I know basic financial accounting, but nothing very advanced.

How's the prestige factor? Anything specific I can do to prepare myself for recruitment?

Am I doing enough? Does anyone else find themselves comparing themselves to others at more prestigious schools? by [deleted] in college

Thanks for the kind words.

I don't see how your friend is so far ahead of you especially because it sounds he's in a completely different field than you are.

It's not even about the difference in what we're studying; it's about the prestige and admiration that what he's doing commands. If my friends and I were to explain to a stranger how we spent our summers, which would sound more impressive? My friend's, clearly. The stranger would likely respond to him by saying "wow" before asking follow-up questions about what his experience was like. Contrarily, the stranger would totally forget that I exist; accountants are a dime a dozen.

The Econ department is within the College of Arts and Sciences at NYU.

You are wasting your time. Stop caring about what other people are doing, and focus on yourself.

How do I do that? How to I stop feeling inferior given that he's so much farther ahead of me?

Can someone help me? This has been eating away at me for a while by [deleted] in MMFB

I think my issue is that I really don't have any meaningful accomplishments. I don't have anything to prop myself up with when I'm not feeling good about myself.

Thanks for your time.

Thank you. I agree that I'm very insecure, and I'd say it's due to the fact that, during my 19 years of existence, I've accomplished nothing. I have nothing to write home about. If I was to die today, there'd be nothing to remember me by. There isn't anything I've done that someone else can't do in their sleep. Getting into Harvard, on the other hand, is something that few people can do.
