Introduction

Hey everyone, my name is Matt Ibalio and I'm trying to change careers from sales/customer service to, ideally, IB

I have a wife and 1 kid with plans for more so I'm hoping to navigate career paths and find something that's fulfilling and challenging. I'd love any tips on what it's like to be an associate, interning, and advice for catching up given I have no prior finance experience. 

I'm currently a grad student at DePaul University getting an MBA/MSF and looking to get an internship upon finishing both degrees.

Happy to be here
