Does anyone have some advice for someone transitioning into the financial services industry from marketing as a 24-year-old? I was playing college basketball so didn't get to do the internship pipeline but have recently acquired my SIE and been applying to entry level positions such as Relationship Banker or CA roles in NYC (where I live currently).

Anything that you can take from your time in marketing and show how it relates to the position will be a big help. Are you getting any calls, or has it not been long enough to tell?

That, in a sense, isn’t far off from what most people are experiencing anyway. The market is slower during the end-of-year holidays. The good news is you are getting interviews; that is usually the hard part.

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!

Been looking into 2019 Infiniti QX50, Lincoln MKC, Mazda CX-5, Chevy Equinox, and other similar compact to mid size SUVs but having hard time making the decision.

What are some affordable SUVs that i can buy with ~$25k budget? Hopefully it's post 2019 model and has good fuel economy and reliability (low maintenance cost). I'm less concerned on the mileage but wanting good horsepower (~250hp). Any suggestions? Thanks for your insights.
