Hi, I’m Ramya. I have done my undergrad in accounting and finance and recently graduated with Masters in Information Technology and Management. I’ve worked as a Tax Consultant for Deloitte before moving to US for 2.5 years. I’m planning to start my career as a financial analyst as I understood that IT isn’t for me after some experimentation. I’ve come across The Wall Street Financial & Valuation Modelling Program. Is it a good resource to start with? Any advice would be appreciated.

Well, I have tried exploring the other career paths and finance interests me the most. I don't know if it makes sense totally but learning more about this career path makes me feel more comfortable and gives me a sense of belonging. Also, I'm good at analytics and logical thinking.

Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
