Candidly & No-Bullshit - I’m interested in this field, I have the right attitude, and I am voraciously hungry to consume knowledge. You’d be surprised how straight, to the point requests for small pockets of time can be accommodated as long as you don’t come off as having a stick up your “you know what.” I had the opportunity to hang around hedge fund types middle of college during Covid when I working my virtual internship out of the golf course backroom to pay for my golf addiction, and the one thing I realized is that these powerful, f-you money makers need something exciting and they need little to no noise or you lose their attention quickly. Be interesting.
