In October, I attended the Prospanica Conference in Las Vegas. The event was a whirlwind of networking, resume-enhancing sessions, and interviews with hiring managers. Companies ranging from Fortune 500 to niche players provided valuable insights, and I'm eager to apply what I've learned to secure a full-time position in Finance. The conference also showcased universities, including Ohio State, where I represented my program. Beyond professional networking, the Vegas backdrop added an exciting dimension to the experience.

Hi! As we near the end of the first session, I reflect on the balance between academic challenges and leisure activities. I describe our exciting paintball day, where 20 of us SMF students bonded over intense battles. Thanks to a friend's initiative, we also enjoyed a culinary adventure, trying delicious Indian dishes in Columbus. Our weekend wouldn't be complete without cheering for The Ohio State football team, and we celebrated a thrilling victory. Stay tuned for future blog posts about Columbus exploration, football game experiences, job-seeking, and more.
