Perhaps🥲

I don't think so really, and fintech is willing to pay the big bucks for people with this kind of experience anyway - there's so much compliance and a lot of regulations to navigate otherwise

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job.

Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks
