Tsunami Disaster

The disaster has taken a huge death toll, and the reports from the field are heart wrenching. Most of my friends and relatives are fine, but a disaster this magnitude requires quick relief work on the ground.

We at Duke have been shocked and are trying to help by donating directly to the organizations working in affected areas.

Personally, having worked in few of the organizations here is a list of organizations that I would trust :

a) AID India : http://www.aidindia.org/
b) Red Cross - http://www.ifrc.org/helpnow/donate/donate_response.asp
c) Share & Care Organization - http://www.shareandcare.org/

Happy Holidays

Wish you a happy holidays and Merry Christmas!!! I just returned back from meeting my undergrad buddies, for christmas. I guess this vacation was much needed :)

I have made it to a few closed lists for Equity Research. The interviews are on 10th January, hence I need to spend some time preparing for stock-pitches for the interview. The good news about Banking internships is that before the classes start on 21st January, one knows the result of internship search.


ps: Congratulations to all the Wharton admits!! Enjoy your holidays.

Long Break

So last one month was the longest break from my blog. The last month was also one of the busiest months at Fuqua. We finished our finals on 13th Dec, amidst all the deadline for submitting resumes and cover letters for various companies.

Earlier this week, I visited New York to talk about my new love - a career in Equity research. After I took my Macro-economics course in Term 1, I enjoy forecasting the way markets move based on macro-economic news. When I got first exposed to Finance, I liked the part about valuation of a firm. Thats when I started thinking and understanding about a career in Equity Research.

So, I have my hands full, now that I need to prepare for internship interviews ( starting 10th Jan) for consulting and equity research.

I plan to take a break and visit my friends for few days during christmas. Sometimes, when there are no classes, it seems so quiet to me :). Guess I had been running so much, that standing still is no longer a fun :).
