On November 9 2017, i went to the Wallstreet panel at the 7th floor of the William and Anita Newman Library. During the 2 hours long panel i learned a lot about the financial industry. This workshop brought in several alumnus finance major of Baruch College and let them talked about what it was like working in the finance world after graduation. There were many interesting stories and helpful advices being given that day. It felt almost surreal to think that in 10 to 20 years i would probably be where they are now. Maybe not the exact same career but in terms of experience. One of the speaker graduated not too long ago and he is now a graduate student. Another panel speaker said he is a part of development company based in Florida and there were many more that shared their stories with us. I definitely learned a lot from them. It was almost inspirational because most of them had graduated from Baruch College a while ago and they took many turns and risks to get to where they are today. They also shared with us what those risks were and overall i thought they were pretty inspiring and brave.
