I am an M&A analyst working in Financial Due Diligence, building toward IB, PE, and eventually my own business. So, whether your question is about breaking into high finance, sharpening your profile, understanding a deal or a market move, or just figuring out your next step — I'll answer from what's actually worked for me, what I'm currently learning, and what I'd genuinely do in your position.
This isn't advice from above. It's perspective from someone close enough to your stage to remember exactly what the uncertainty feels like — sharing what I know so you can make a clearer call on what's right for you.
