First Taste of Finance
I’ve always wanted to learn more about wealth management, investing and personal finance. Unfortunately, I never got around to reading up on anything related or even following up on them – until now.
Working at a Fintech company pushes you to be familiar with financial concepts and topics, presenting research opportunities and educating myself about personal finance and the basics of investing. A total score when you’re killing 2 birds with one stone.
Meanwhile, writing articles for WealthUp has also helped me gain a lot of knowledge about the finance industry, to know the thought leaders of the industries and what I can learn from them.
Don’t Just Think It, Speak It
Many times, I have been questioned on the reasons behind my actions and found myself explaining the thought process that brought me to my current position. It may not seem significant but articulating my decision-making process made me more aware of my work. When analysis is your life from 9-5, you will:
- Learn importance of understanding the reason behind an action
- Be questioned numerous times about why you were doing what you were doing in the manner you did – shedding light to why I came to the final decision or proposal
- Find you get more prepared to reason your way of work, giving confidence to your mentors and colleagues
