Hello All,
I am currently on a career "soul search." I have done the whole "talk to as many people in as many different finance industry as possible" thing, and I even went through mentorship programs held by my company or school. I still find myself thinking at the quiet time in the day, "what more can I do to find out where I want to be or get to where I want to go."
I just hear so many unique stories: I helped a guy out, who ultimately led me to this interesting path in finance; I got into this project/company (because first job/friend introduced/just magical timing), and that led me to xyz path; I knew a guy in college/work and he took me with him to this new firm & from there I got know this other guy & moved onto the next firm...
Other than working on various jobs, I can't possibly know something's a good career for me without actually working in it for a good year.
So...my question is (for people who have done the "soul search" or are doing the "soul search"): What was your experience like? If you found what you want to do, how did you get there?
