From Wall St. to Building Her Own Recruiting Firm
On today’s episode of Before She Founded I’m joined by Jessica Wu, a Harvard Business School graduate and co-founder of Ratio Advisors. Jessica went from following the traditional Wall Street path to building her own recruiting firm, which now partners with the world's top private equity firms and hedge funds to hire exceptional talent while working to bring more women into investing.
In this conversation, we discuss why your first career plan probably won't be your last, what it's actually like to start a company, how to find the right co-founders, and why discovering your strengths matters more than following someone else's roadmap. Jessica also offers candid advice for young women interested in finance and entrepreneurship, reminding us that there are far more paths to success than most people realize.
