Thank you to all of my (previous) employers: 1. Sterling Asset Management Group: My first finance internship. Was a pretty wonky situation, and nobody stayed very long but I got my first experience cold-calling some pretty senior executives. Also, this internship was enough experience to get me into Baruch's MFE program. 2. Numerix Client Services: My first corporate internship. Amazing experience. I learned tons about derivative pricing and how to handle clients. 3. Morgan Stanley Risk: My first full-time corporate job. Incredible managers, one after another. Almost got fired but completely turned it around. Was an amazing experience. 4. State Street GX: TruView was a software company State Street bought. I supported TruView clients. I learned so much technically in this role, especially in SQL. 5. Morgan Stanley Stock Loan: Essentially Sales & Trading for Prime Brokerage. Amazing team. Incredible people. We made the bank billions. I learned a ton. Would do it again. 10/10. 6. Numerix Sales: Numerix took a huge risk on my by bringing me on as a VP sales. It was a humbling experience (sales is difficult!), but I continue to affirm that Numerix is one of the best fintech companies in the world. 7. dragin: Since I run the company, I'm not technically employed, but this is a shout out to my teammates who make every day working here, and our product, just amazing. Thank you all so much!!

Hello Connection! Just completed JPMorgan Chase's Commercial Banking simulation Virtual Internship on Forage and it was an incredible learning experience! Through the simulation, I gained expertise in analyzing company and industry overviews, preparing financial models, and determining a covenant structure. I also learned how to complete a transaction overview to understand how the debt of a company will change post-transaction. Highly recommend this program to anyone looking to enhance their skills in commercial banking. #JPMorganChase #CommercialBanking #Forage #FinancialModeling #ExcelAnalysis

Check this out if you want to work in IB or WM ⚙️ Options strategies in a nutshell 📈 #0 👋 I am delighted to present you my new series of short articles about options on a weekly basis. I am going to treat about options functioning, and strategies that can be made of those options. I will present quick examples and payoff graphs which will illustrate my explanations every Tuesday. 💡 During my internship within the execution team at UBS, I developed strong knowledge about this subject, and I wanted to share it with my network as it passionates me a lot. My purpose is to present frequently used products in investment banks as well as some more exotic strategies. 👉 The first two articles will talk about Call and Put options, which are the core of every existing options strategy. 🚩 See you next Tuesday for the next article! Don’t hesitate to spread this over your network, it would be the best reward for me. #optionstrading #options #structuredproducts #finance #investement #strategy #banks #trading #tradingstrategy

Thrilled to share my journey! 🚀 Reflecting on my first equity research model after completing the BLK Capital Management, Corp equity research internship and the Alx/CFI financial analyst program. I can now fault the whole model myself; looking at what I did then shows how committed I was to learning. It's amazing to see how my skills in Excel, finance, and financial reporting have evolved. Ready to tackle a research project on a UK-based company soon – stay tuned! #FinancialAnalysis #CareerGrowth
