Just show up, eat, and meet people.

Though I met a lot of awesome people there, the job was polluted with favoritism and overall showed me I rather pursue my own passion which is living, eating, breathing the research and study of economics, market analysis, calculating the cash flows for various potential investment opportunities and generally being my own business man excites me like no other career path could."
