What are some of the ways I could begin preparing for a future in investing while I’m still in high school?
Aside from doing my best in school and getting good grades, what are some other things I could do? Any books I should read? Any clubs I should join? Any after school programs I should look for? Thank you for your advice #finance #financial-services #investment-management #investing
How competitive are internships in the investment industry?
I want to try to get an internship at some point. How competitive is that going to be, and if it’s very competitive then what are the things that are going to make someone stand out? #finance #investment-management #investing
What types of investment management are there exactly?
Are there different types? I'm just trying to understand what kinds of investments companies like PIMCO are managing/consulting. #finance #financial-services #investment-management #investing
How old should I be when I start investing on my own account if I want to have a future in finance?
Is there a minimum age you need to be in order to qualify to have an investment account? For high school students it’s hard to get started. Is it possible to start in 9th grade? If not, what can a 9th grader do to get started? #finance #investment-management #investing
Do you have to be a good public speaker to have a career at PIMCO?
I am not a good public speaker and fear that that's important if I want to pursue a career in business (specifically investment management). How important is it? #finance #financial-services #investment-management #investing #public-speaking
How much preparation is involved when managing someone's investments?
I'd love to learn more about the work that goes into the account management for an investment manager. What exactly does that prep work entail? How many accounts do you manage at one time? #finance #financial-services #investment-management #investing
What is an appropriate attire for a job interview in finance for men?
I hope that some of the men working in finance can give us an idea of what the right attire might be. Thanks so much in advance. #finance #interviews #financial-services #investment-management #investing
What advice would you give to a student trying to decide between pursuing his passion (specifically English/writing) and other more lucrative subjects (Computer Science, Economics, Engineering etc.)?
