Where I hope to be in 5 years

My advice to students considering work
Research the company that you are applying to well.
Focus on doing good research - better to send a handful of good applications than many half-hearten applications.
Ensure to put forward your personality as well as your merits.

The global impact of my daily work and influences it has on the financial-, and consumer market. Having not studied economics it is a boost to see that one does not necessarily have to limit ones career choices - as long as you have built a solid (educational) foundation
