The "sexy careers" are not for everyone
A lot of you want to get into the “sexy” careers:
• Investment Banking
• Sales & Trading
• Private Equity
i.e. High Finance
But are you really interested in these careers?
Or is it just about the…
• Status
• Money
• Fear of Missing Out
The majority aren’t genuinely interested in these careers.
It’s simply a desire from the external perception.
I promise you it's not like Wolf of Wall Street 😅
Plus, there's a difference between desire from perception.
Versus having genuine interest & skills to keep up.
A lot of these roles are numbers heavy, so if that does not come naturally to you…
You are setting yourself up to fail, in my opinion 🤷🏾♂️
Go for roles that require skills that come naturally to you.
Take me for example: I'm personable and get on quite well with people.
So, I've always looked for roles that involved:
• Relationship management
• Dealing with clients
• Yapping lol
If that sounds like you...
