From my experience resilience is the most important thing that helps me to get to the objectives. Sometimes things are not easy but if you really want something keep trying, ask for help if needed and push yourself. Don’t give up easily but also don’t be too harsh on your self when things don’t go as planned, sometimes it happens and you can’t control it. If you did everything in your power to reach what you wanted to and it still didn’t happen it wasn’t meant to be.

What do you like about your job and the company?

You get to know so many different teams in the bank every day. I really appreciate the holisitic outlook this placement gives me, since I only joined recently it helps me to understand deeper how the bank works, the culture and how all the teams are interconnected. No days are the same and every day it feels like I'm learning new things and new aspects of the bank.

Top Insider Advice

Sometimes you're just ready for a change... and that's okay! Your body gets nervous around change. It likes the status quo (from a purely evolutionary point of view, the status quo has kept you alive so far so why change it!?) Even when we know that a change is what we need, we're likely to still feel nervous about it... even when we know it's the right thing to do. If you've thought it through carefully and it's still what you want to do... it's your life - never be too afraid to make yourself happy.
