>> I was very fortunate in that I am one of the few people who 22 years
after graduating college, is it that long, I am in finance.
I am still doing international business.
And I still use my minor.
So I've been very lucky that way.
I spent 13 years abroad as well living in Japan and some in Malaysia while working.
And I think if you want to be able to do this kind of career, you've kind of got
to dedicate yourself to making sure you get outside your --
get outside your normal comfort zone in terms of getting overseas,
making sure that you learn a foreign language
or at least get very familiar with a foreign culture.
You got to study really hard because getting jobs is so competitive early on
and especially these days where we've got demand from students around the world and, you know,
we're looking to hire multilingual students
with strong math backgrounds, strong finance backgrounds.
Often also an understanding of potentially of geopolitical situations.
So it's that computational finance background is probably the biggest key to being successful.
And if you can add language content to that that really makes for a robust start in our business.
