""I ended up thinking, 'How do I get my name out there? How can I maybe make this happen in the next week?' I wasn't trying to make it happen in a couple months, I was trying to make it happen overnight," Rabinowitz tells Fortune. "I needed it to happen now-I'm running out of money, it's the time.

With about $700 left and $136 spent on a custom poster, he traveled from Boca Raton to New York over Labor Day weekend and marched through the financial district holding a sign advertising his availability for a finance or trading internship or entry-level position. The stunt aimed to generate immediate visibility amid mounting financial pressure and urgency.
