“In summer of 2017, I had a chance to work in the equity research department in China International Capital Corporation (CICC).

“During the second semester of my junior year (from January to May 2017), I spent four months with BDA Partners Hong Kong as an investment banking intern analyst, where I started my journey in investment banking career and had a lot fun with many memorable first-time experiences, including my first client meeting, first live M&A deal, first BBQ with colleagues, etc.

“In the first term of 2017 I was offered an internship with the Valuation Team of Deals Advisory at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
During my internship, I was given the chance to involve in multiple tasks, which were related to the valuation of different financial assets.
I have been able to apply my textbook knowledge I acquired from the courses in university.
GLEF provides ample resources to support students to develop skill sets that are practical in business, as well as many chances to participate in internship.

“During the fall semester in 2016, I interned at Mercer, Hong Kong, in the Investment Advisory team.

Working in a consulting firm was challenging but concurrently rewarding since it was fortunate for me to participate in different genres of projects in which the learning curve was going steeper and steeper along my journey in Mercer.

Besides, I recognized that soft skills appear to be equally essential in the workplace, for example, teamwork, communication and interpersonal skills, since liaising with clients and collaborating with colleagues are our everyday language at work.

Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all of my dearest colleagues in the Investment Advisory team as well as in Mercer for their continuous support and guidance throughout the past months.

“After I returned from my exchange study in US, I started immediately with my job at State Street working as a FX Trading intern.
