totally agree with you on this - the turning point in my life was when i jpined debates in uni, and found it helped immensely with both public speaking and confidence - both social and professional confidence. but i think thr most crucial question ppl should ask you is this : even with newfound confidence, how did you manage to get a foot in the banking door at 35 years old? especially without going for an MBA? it seems from a lot of the postings here that its tough for even 20 somethings to break into banking from other industries, because banks are apparently very focused on hiring fresh grads. hard to get an interview even. did you know people inside your first bank who helped you get a chance to interview?
thanks man!
