Five years ago, I didn’t really imagine that I would be working for an investment banking firm. I was still pondering what to do and was thinking of joining an insurance firm since I was studying for an SOA, the certification process given by the Society of Actuaries. One year before graduation, I talked with friends who worked in the industry and found that my passion was actually on the equity side rather than insurance.

If I were to give advice to someone considering a career in finance, I would say: Always be well prepared. Gain knowledge, manage your expectations and be aware of the stress you will be facing. When opportunity comes, make sure you make the right choice. Good luck to you.
