A fresh attitude
brewed daily!

If someone has some combination of those degrees (say PhD and BS in neuro/EE) and an interest in finance or even some nominal finance experience, how would he go about applying for these positions you and, presumably, your competitors want to fill? I was under the impression that buy side jobs were all about personal relationships. I assume going through HR is hopeless.

To kinda piggy back on this, I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering, with about a year experience as a junior loan officer and another year's experience working processing paperwork for loans and underwriters. I don't have any engineering experience (it's been a rough 5 years), but kinda want to leverage what banking experience and general knowledge into getting a position in finance. I've heard stories of how 'a friend of a friend' got an engineering degree and went into finance pretty successfully, so I'm trying to do the same. What's a good way to get into the industry?
