Post by Devante Sanders, CPA
Chief Executive Officer at The Barber Plug Supply Co.
I was rejected by the first university I ever applied to. I failed my first accounting course I ever took. I finished my undergraduate degree with a 2.9 GPA. I was rejected by all of the big 4 accounting Firms for internships at least once. But.... I didn’t give up. I Networked through LinkedIn landed an internship at Deloitte. I finished my Graduate Program with a 3.5 GPA. I accepted a full time offer with Deloitte. I passed all 4 parts of the CPA exam on the first try thanks to Peter Olinto. I am now a full time employee at Goldman Sachs one of the largest financial institutions in the world. I was never the smartest, I just never gave up. If I can do it anyone can. Because of my failures I pressed on. I just wanted to post this for anyone who needed motivation. https://lnkd.in/enVemDY
