>> My name is Alana Stipenchencko [assumed spelling] and I'm originally from Ukraine.
I grew up there until I was ten and I currently work at Goldman Saks
as an analyst in the securities division.
So I usually get to work around 7:30AM and I'm there usually
around 6:30- 7:30 in the afternoon.
It's a pretty long day and lots going on but that's the excitement.
I sit on the training floor, which is as you can imagine very active and a lot going on
but that's the type of personality that I mean that's the type
of environment my personality works with.
So and during the day I get to work, I usually open up and figure
out like how the day before, how we did the day before.
And I guess my group is a management and strategy group so what we're focused on is
like figuring out our PNL, which is like our profits and losses for the day.
I mean there's things that come
up that my managing director vice president will tell me to do.
I have a few meetings during the day to discuss initiatives we're working on,
or if we're doing business strategy plan, or now that we're gearing up for your end we have a lot
of analytical work that we do for like our quarterly, our year end reviews,
we do our compensation analysis towards year end so that's what we're really focused on.
And I mean there's some things other things that I do during the day as I do we have
like an estimate that goes out to the top management of the company and I'm responsible
for preparing that and getting that to them at a time that's requested
and then some other things I guess that I'm a part of is creating a lot
of PowerPoint presentations that are analyzing the PNL.
So when we prepare those presentations we're responsible for the content that goes in them
and the creativity side of it too ,like presenting it and making sure
that you know the data is presented in a way where people understand and it's visible
and along with what Goldman Saks stands for.
