Nicholas Lam’s path to Morgan Stanley equity research is anything but typical.
From culinary school to Ivy League — and now to high finance. 👨🍳 ➡️ 📊
In this episode, Nicholas shares:
• How culinary school helped him stand out in interviews
• His secret to insanely high networking conversions
• How he landed double-digit superdays — many without networking
• Why personal connection beats transactional outreach
• What made him choose research over banking
Whether you're at a top school or just want to learn how to truly connect in coffee chats,
Nicholas breaks down what worked — and what didn’t — on his journey to MS.
