The most critical thing is the experience of the advisor and the skin in the game. 

The traditional consulting model of putting up the generalistst and fees upfront model doesn't fit this. 

Fixed Income Result surprised me

I was taken by surprise that I got an H in Fixed Income. Honestly, I did not studied that hard. In fact I did not studied at all for Fixed Income as my time was consumed in other subjects and activities. After finals, I was sure I will get good marks as I did all the problems correct with full confidence. But still, I was not expecting H as their are a number of people from Wall Street in my class, who had done a lot of Fixed Income and proprietary trading in their career.

Though for me it does not matter which grade I get, as I am on exchange, it is a nice surprise. At least, I do not want to be a Fixed Income securities trader on Wall Street. That to me, it is a mindless number crunching job. Though I am good at number crunching, but i want to do some meaningful job. Corporate finance seems to be most attractive field to me. It is very well connected to PE/VC sector, both of which entice me a lot.
