Do You Have Any Advice For Students?

There’s a delusion among UVA students, especially McIntire, that your first job is make-or-break.

I was under the impression that if you're not at a top 10 bank in NYC as a 22 year old it's over, and that's just not true.

Brand name, position, and experience matter, but there is a lot more fluidity than I was made to believe.

Your career is what you make of it, and that's the best piece of advice I’ve ever received.
