Alumni Testimonials

How did the IC help prepare you for your current job?
“When you develop a confidence in researching a company, forming an investment thesis around your research, and then presenting and defending your thesis in a room full of people, you have the analytical and public speaking skills far beyond anything you learn in a classroom. In my current role, I feel comfortable taking all the information given to me regarding a sector / company and forming and defending an opinion; doing this as an analyst is a tremendous opportunity to stand out.“
Why did you decide to join the IC?
“I had heard about the Investments Committee as a freshman and thought it would be a cool opportunity to learn about stocks and investing. I also knew I wanted to pursue something in finance one day but didn’t have a deeper idea than that. It wasn’t until after I joined the IC that I realized how much I enjoyed what I was learning and that I wanted to apply those skills in my career.”
Jason graduated from Georgia Tech in May 2019 with a degree in Business Administration and minor in Engineering through the T&M Program. During his time in the IC, Jason was the Senior Managing Director and the Director of Mentorship. He is currently an analyst at Roark Capital, an Atlanta-based private equity firm with $20 billion in AUM.
How did the IC help prepare you for your current job?
“The IC does a great job preparing you for any job in consulting, finance, or engineering. You learn how to look at a company from the lens of an investor while developing essential skills such as modeling, presenting, preparing investment decks, using Bloomberg, etc. Also, being around like-minded motivated people fosters a sense of community where everyone helps each other learn.”
What is your advice for people looking to join?
“I would say to really devote time to building your relationships and skill set in the IC. The best way to do that is to reach out to those who are more experienced in the IC and learn as much as possible from them.”
