"Silicon Valley is the new Wall Street", is what many people are starting to say about the reason why so many Business Schools are starting to focus on tech and entrepreneurship. On today's episode, we have a conversation with Preethi Kasireddy, who used to work as an Investment Banker at Goldman Sachs, worked in Venture Capital at Andreessen Horowitz, and quit her job to become a Software Engineer at Coinbase http://smarturl.it/BISep18 On today's conversation, she talks about routines, how she broke into finance, side projects, taking the non-traditional path, how she went about choosing a coding bootcamp, and how she applied the due diligence she learned at Andreessen Horowitz to choose the startups she wanted to work for. If you're a banker or consultant, this episode is definitely for you. So, shout out to Sponsors for Educational Opportunity, Management Leadership for Tomorrow, and all of our people that we know in finance. Artur Meyster and I used to be investment bankers together, so this information was definitely relevant for us as well. http://smarturl.it/BISep18 As always, we love your feedback so please let us know what you think about this episode in the reviews.
