Career Advice.. College sophmore

Hi everyone im a sophmore at berkeley studying econ. I want ideally a high paying job in high finance but im lwk scared of banking because of the hours (i was recently hospitalized and then diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder). Idt im capable of quant, and ive heard its practically impossible to enter other high finance careers directly out of undergrad. Does anyone have advice for other jobs to pursue in finance with great exit ops + compensation? I'm not very interested in MBB either as i want to do something a bit more technical.

Incoming junior- am I cooked for high finance?

Hi all. I’m an incoming junior in college looking to break into investment banking or honestly anything in high finance. I was at a non target for the first two years of my uni so I was fully focused on transferring to a better school. I have now gotten into and committed to UC Berkeley. However I fully missed summer 27 ib internships and now I’m worried as I don’t have any internships lined up for summer 27 and I didn’t do much this summer either (aside from an EY charge program). In my senior year of hs I did a relatively decently competitive program with Morgan Stanley and EY but since that was in senior year of hs I don’t think that would help much. Does anyone have any advice on next steps? Since I missed ib recruitment should I try for summer 28 or am I better off trying to venture into sm else? Any and all advice GREATLY needed and appreciated 😭🙏

Consulting/business clubs

Hi everyone I’m an incoming transfer worried that my chances of getting into Berkeley’s business/consulting clubs are extremely slim. Does anyone know the realistic chances of getting in as a transfer?

Also even if I get in realistically how much could this help my resume? Most high finance summer 27 recruitment is over and summer 27 internship cycle starts in the fall itself.

Making friends..

Hi everyone, I’m a recent transfer who moved to Berkeley this summer from a 4 year uni. Although I don’t start classes till spring I moved early due to some housing problems. Honestly the move has been brutal- socially at least. I have no idea how to make friends, all i can think to do is join clubs in the fall but even that I’m not sure I can do because I’m technically a spring admit. Anyone have any suggestions?

URGENT- PRICE NEGOTIABLE UVT SUMMER SUBLEASE

‼️‼️I WILL PAY FOR JUNES RENT AND YOUR RENT WILL BE 1000 (discounted from 1250) WITH FREE parking INCLUDED‼️‼️

Hi! I’m looking to sublease my apartment (you get ur own room and bath) at University Village Towers for the summer (June 10- August 31). The current tenants are very quiet and clean, and you get added space the leasing office won’t tell u about 🤫

It’s a high-rise unit on the 6th floor with an outward-facing view- so you get mountain views and natural sunlight/sunrise instead of facing inward toward the towers. The apartment is on one of the few floors with laundry facilities, which makes it super convenient (no elevator trips needed for laundry).

It is also a corner room, which means added space (the leasing office won't tell you that the corner rooms have more space lol) and is fully furnished!!

The layout of the kitchen is fully straight without the corner bend, allowing for more counter space compared to the other UVT apartment layouts. (Huge difference, happy to show pic difference!!)

It is a 15 minute walk from campus, with very fast maintenance on hand and a good leasing team!

Let me know if you’re interested or want more details! Happy to provide pics !!

Where to store rata

Hello. I usually store mine in my fridge, but I’m moving out of my apartment and back to my parents place for around 2 weeks as I’m between jobs. Does anyone have any suggestions where I can store my Reta for those 2 weeks? I don’t want to put it in my parents fridge

Missing one weeks dose

Hello, I’m currently on 1.2 mg and I need to miss one weeks dose because I will be travelling. I was consistently on 1 mg then jumped to 1.5 for a week when I realized it was too strong then reduced to 1.2 now. I’m worried that this inconsistency and now me missing one weeks dose will affect progress. Any advice?

Should I increase dose?

Hi all. I’ve been taking Reta for around 7 weeks now, .5 for the first two and 1 mg for the remaining 5 weeks. Since I started it (4/1) I’ve lost around 12 pounds with of course semi consistent gym and a good diet. I initially hopped on it because I have PCOS and POTS and despite years of going to the gym my weight loss felt extremely slow.

I have noticed though that as a vegetarian I struggle to meet protein requirements, and don’t do weights as much as I do cardio. For this reason I’m not sure whether to increase my dosage to 1.5 mg- as right now though I have reached my “goal weight” I’m trying to work towards reducing my body fat to have a more toned build because I’m still very “flabby”.

For this reason I’m conflicted because I know for a toned build protein and weight workouts are the most important and fat loss comes second, but of course you still need to be on a deficit to get to that goal.

What would you advise?

Will I get rescinded

I got into Berkeley and medically withdrew from my current uni during winter quarter. I gave my documentation and they almost immediately accepted it and said I’m safe but after I submitted another form because I listed that I’m taking a stats class (not needed for my major) in spring quarter that I forgot to mention I dropped like before I was ever even enrolled because I wanted a lighter load for my health. Would they rescind me? I still haven’t heard back for the second form
