San Francisco: Back in Chicago

Last week, I had the amazing opportunity to travel to San Francisco with my friends at Loyola. We visited some of the world's top tech companies and got to network with industry leaders within the financial tech industry.

During the trip, we visited Reach Capital, Meta, and Salesforce, among others. It was fascinating to see how these companies have transformed the economy inland and overseas. We had the opportunity to discuss their business models, strategies, and challenges with some of their executives. We were also able to view their offices, which were impressive due to their innovative designs and cutting-edge facilities.

In addition to sessions with tech companies, we also met with alumni who provided us with insights into the financial industry. We learned about investment banking, private equity, and venture capital and had the opportunity to speak with professionals from some of the Bay Area's most prestigious financial institutions. The trip was an incredible educational opportunity, and I feel more confident and inspired about my future career. The networking opportunities were invaluable, and I am grateful for the relationships I established during this trip. This whole trip was an adventure, so many memories were made. I would do it all over again if given the chance.
