Many college students and recent grads enter the tech world without a full picture of what the industry looks like. Choosing a summer internship or that first post-grad job can be complicated and confusing. Finance vs. startup vs. corporation - so many options! </SPAN></P>

Our panel is made up of fresh perspectives who hope to shed some light on the decision making process leading up to their current internship/job and their experiences in the field thus far. </SPAN></SPAN></P>
