An Aspiring Marketing/Financial Analyst

brianperez1799 — 2021-11-29 22:56:54 UTC

Hey there, my name is Brian Perez. I am a Junior at Hunter College and I am studying Econ with a business certificate program.

I am what you call a workaholic, especially when I do something that I am passionate about. I am a numbers guy and also a firm believer in having advanced technology aid me in the work environment. That being said, once I find a position or dream, I will do anything to achieve it!

I am looking to learn how to operate in a business environment but also learn about what my true calling is. A lot of jobs in the economic environment do inspire me, however, I am open to trying anything to figure out what job fits me the best.

I am currently looking for business opportunities to help aid my journey to find the answer to what my calling is. I love computers, I love using technology to benefit businesses and I also enjoy forward-thinking to innovate the entire world as a whole.

Can you suggest some job descriptions or something regarding deciding what part of the business I could enjoy?

An Aspiring Hedge Fund Manager

2021-11-29 23:33:34 UTC

Hi! I’m a student studying biochemistry with minors in business and economics who is fascinated with learning about the markets. I practice my technical and fundamental analyses every day for a couple hours and expose myself to as much financial knowledge as I can, whether it be through school, friends, or YouTube. I want to keep building on this framework and get to the level of a hedge fund manager. This knowledge is not usually shared that openly, so could you suggest a way to get a former or current hedge fund manager to mentor me? Or happen to know anyone that does? I appreciate any thoughts you have in advance!

Aspiring Data Scientist/Financial Consultant

2021-11-30 02:29:31 UTC

Hey, my name is Jason Chetram and I’m a senior at Hunter College pursuing a major in Economics.

If I had to pick my best asset it would be my ability to critically analyze data and information to draw conclusions and make decisions. Despite being an introvert I worked retail throughout college in an effort to step out of my comfort zone and I can full-heartedly say that it’s worked wonders for me. One trait that has stuck with me from my former days of introversion would be my tendency to overanalyze situations, information, and what others think. What was once a weakness is now a strength to me as I learned to channel my overanalyzing to rationally analyzing. My next endeavors will be in the Data Analytics/Consulting fields, where I hope to help others draw conclusions based upon the details of their circumstances.

I am currently looking for an internship opportunity for the Spring Semester that can get me one foot in the door in the Data Science/Consulting field. However, as long as I can have the opportunity to use my abilities and knowledge of Economics to help others, I’ll give it my best try!

I am open to meeting anyone else that is pursuing something in the Economics field. Also if anyone knows of any internships for Spring 2022, please let me know!

Aspiring Analyst

2021-11-30 03:19:27 UTC

Hi, my name is Allison Paily and I’m a student at Hunter College studying towards a BA/MA degree in Economics with a minor in Computer Science. At my past internship, I worked at the Greentree Foundation under the Director of Finance where I had to match the organization’s financial activity from the books to the statements in excel. It was a tedious task because I had to figure out any discrepancies between the two. Greentree was also in the process of moving financial documents and data from physical books into online databases. Given my Computer Science background, I wished that I could have been more involved in helping with the transition. I have worked in python, C++, and sql, but I would like to further expand my skills especially in ways that would be helpful in the business world. I am open to any resources or advice on how to achieve this goal. If you know anybody with experience in this field please let me know.

jianhuiweng8900 — 2021-11-30 05:40:25 UTC

Hi my name is Jian Weng. I am a junior majoring biology at Hunter College. I've been learning science through out my entire life and only been exposed to computer science once for a high school class. I've worked in medical fields along with a start up company, so I've accumulated diverse skills and experiences. But I've come to decision that I want to explore the tech field and will dedicate time off to learn computer science from bootcamps. My career as pre-med is not at an end but rather at a pause. I believe it is in my best interest to explore other fields before making a life decision to pursue medical school.

I'd love to meet people from both the medical field and tech field. I want to be able to incorporate them both in to my future career. If there happens to be a job that requires a science and tech background please let me know! Thank you for your time.
