Sometimes i remember how mean everyone was to me and i just wonder what i did to deserve that. I was constantly humbled and put down. Always criticized, even for things as little as how I held a spoon and how i laughed. They constantly spoke negatively into my life. I was always told I was unfriendly, mean, angry and overall not a good person and I internalized it and never really thought more of myself. Told I was a witch. At a point I was banned from a room in my house because I was ugly and they didn’t like seeing me in there. When I cried, I was told I was even uglier and I was berated and provoked even more. I genuinely hated being a kid and thought no one loved me. Even my siblings, aunts and uncles were mean to me. I grew up a shell of myself. Lacked confidence and never put much effort into life and didn’t think anything would ever work out in my favor. Now as a 22 year old girl, I find myself constantly enraged. Everything just gets me so mad. I don’t like being depended on and I struggle with patience because no one had the patience for me when I needed it. It feels like it shaped the person I’ve become. I am constantly overthinking and anxious. I have become a lonely adult, just stick to myself and don’t talk much. I could never treat any kid the way I was treated. Just seeing kids cry makes me so sad.

I’m a recent finance grad and graduated this past spring. My dream has always been investment banking, but I was never able to land an IB internship, and now it feels like I missed my chance.
I’ve had three internships, but most of what I did was busy work. I didn’t get much experience with financial analysis, modeling, transactions, or anything that actually prepared me for the roles I want.

Now I’m applying for “entry-level” finance jobs, and so many require 1–2 years of relevant experience. How are you supposed to get that experience when no one will give you a chance to gain it?

I also don’t want to take another random job just to have something on my resume and end up in the same position a few years from now.

What roles should I be targeting as a realistic stepping stone? I’m looking for something where I can build strong financial/analytical skills(portfolio valuation, underwriting, investment banking), get meaningful experience, and have good exit opportunities, ideally something that could eventually help me lateral into IB or another high-finance role. I’d especially appreciate advice from anyone who started in a similar position and found a way in. I don’t know what to do anymore.

An MBA is not an option at the moment so please take that into consideration before responding.

I want to get the full size of the Brimnes bed from IKEA without the headboard because the headboard takes up unnecessary space. I want a regular flat headboard that would be against the wall and one that wouldn’t require me to drill it into the wall or into the bed frame.

I am looking for a full size white bed with a headboard that’s not too big. I found the malm bed but have seen negative reviews. I want to hear from people that have the bed and can speak from experience with it? Is it a stable bed and would you recommend it for a young adult.

I just graduated this spring with a business degree and will be starting an evening post-bacc this fall to complete my medical school prerequisites. All of my classes are after 6 PM, so I’ll have the entire day available to work and focus on extracurriculars.

My current stats:
Cumulative GPA: 3.11
Major GPA (Business): 3.70

One of the only positive parts of my application is my upward trend. My cumulative GPA was around a 2.1, and I was able to raise it to a 3.11 by graduation.
Since I was a business major, I never took the science prerequisites during undergrad, so I don’t have a science GPA yet. I guess that’s one advantage because I’ll have the opportunity to build a strong science GPA from scratch during my post-bacc.

My biggest concern is extracurriculars. Since I’ll be a post-bacc student rather than an undergrad and I don’t have a STEM background, I feel like getting research experience may be difficult.

Currently I have no volunteer hours, I’ve done an internship every summer in college but all business related.

If you were in my position, what would you do over the next 2-3 years? What extracurriculars and jobs would you focus on considering my situation?

Please don’t suggest nursing or another career. I just need to know what extracurriculars to focus on during my post bacc, if you don’t have any meaningful suggestions then please don’t say anything.
