Hey guys! I made this video on how I turned around my career prospects in Finance — despite a university grade that should’ve closed doors.

I share my experience both as a candidate and later as a hiring manager. I discuss why a “bad grade” isn’t the end in Finance and how to turn your story into a strength.

I tackle a classic competency question with one real example.

Definitely worth checking out!

Hello! I’ve been in Compliance now Dow approx 6 years and want to make myself marketable. Besides a JD what other masters can I obtain?

I'm the only employee with a background in finance in a tech startup growing at a 300%+ per year. But it's actually my first finance-related experience (interned and now part-time as I'm in my senior year of undergrad) and don't know really how to have an impact as my knowledge is "limited" and have no technical mentorship.

Any advice/mentorship would be wonderful!
