I work in the Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM) institutional sales channel in Hong Kong. My team looks for opportunities for GSAM to manage the assets of institutions such as pension funds, insurance companies, corporations and central banks. While we are based in Hong Kong, we cover clients in all of Asia, excluding Japan. It is challenging work, as you deal with different cultures, societies and regulatory environments every day – but I love the challenge.

During my first years as an analyst in the Investment Banking division, I spent time in both the High Technology group in New York and the Equity Capital Markets group in Hong Kong. One thing that impressed me from the start was the willingness of senior management to provide opportunities for junior team members to take on significant responsibilities. Very early on, I was given the chance to work on a number of transactions with some of the world's leading technology companies. The trust of senior management is a consistent theme here: They trust that you will raise your hand when not being challenged – and that you will do the same when you need guidance.
