Back in town

It doesn’t feel like you’re in New York until you get that signature subway smell. It’s an objectively bad smell but the first moment I caught a whiff of it this trip I was flooded  with the memories of last year’s journey. Last year, I came in without much of a goal, just wanted to get a feel of the city and see if working out there was for me. This year, I came in with more determination to get out there and network to get myself a position this summer. With that mindset, I went into every single agency visit with the plan of having at least one good conversation after the visit every time. Its easy to get passive after a presentation and good question and answer session and you want to just slide out, but I made it my mission to not come out empty on every single visit. I’m happy to say I accomplished my mission and after one good interview and several solid emails, I think I can call this trip a success.
