In the autumn of 2010, as an undergrad studying government at Connecticut College, Amy Cheetham had big dreams of one day landing a coveted gig on Wall Street.
Attending a so-called non-target school — one outside the select few Harvards, Yales, and Stanfords of the world, from which Wall Street typically recruits heavily — also seemed like a barrier. That internship would serve as the foot in the door she needed. After another internship at JPMorgan the following year, she received a job offer to join the firm as an analyst when she graduated college in 2013. After two years at JPMorgan, first in sales and trading and then with the investment bank, she made the jump to private equity.
"Start wherever you can that's easiest," she told Business Insider. Or, as she put it in one of her tweets: "Knock-off the low hanging fruit first.""Outline your questions in an email and, if you're looking for a job, just say that," Cheetham said.The key, she added, is to get to the point: Share the critical information like who you are, why you're reaching out, and what your request is.
If you've asked for time on the phone with an executive or recruiter, don't squander it. One way to show you appreciate their time is by coming prepared with meaningful questions. "People forget that there are a lot of books about finance or industry or tech or whatever business you want to go into that actually have great lessons in them," she said.
Working on Wall Street could be great but working for yourself building assets is even better! Start a side hustle and invest the extra cash.

Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. Airports generally have contracts with taxi services. Uber rolls up with no contract so they get charged fees. If uber didn’t tell their drivers, that’s just unacceptable. Drivers take off trade dress because if they get into an accident, the police report won’t say Uber vehicle. Most are committing insurance fraud!

Paycheck Protection Program saved up to 3.2 million jobs during pandemic - Business InsiderBusiness Insider is a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals. Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. Right. But how much more aid could have been effectively delivered and additional jobs saved if the program had the necessary oversight to assure proper and appropriate distribution of money? Are there any available stats on that? 😂😂🤣 nice cover for a giant robbery Would have saved a whole heck of a lot more had more of the PPP funds really gone to small businesses, rather than to Trump's rich and/or religious friends. But let's not forget how much of it went to Trump's organizations, and Congressional Republicans too.
