RE: Finance, what do you hope to get out of a career in finance? Is it retail banking, an eventual exit into a VC fund?

My personal opinion is that there are two ways to get in...

One is to get in by 'putting in the time' to get experience and actively seek out opportunities locally.

The other is to go to a target school/program that IB firms are known to hire from (i.e. Western Ivey, Queens Commerce, Sauder PMF).
