Why did you choose to attend Swiss Finance?

Though the Bachelor of Commerce program at McGill has exposed me to many aspects of the business world such as marketing, accounting, and economics, investment banking has always interested me the most. I enjoy working with large accounts, and learning about large funds, corporations, as well as the banking system and financial institutions. I believed that the Swiss Finance Academy would help me to gain experience, meet some new people, gain some connections in the finance industry, as well as expose me to a part of the world that I had never seen before. All this, in turn would help me strive towards my career aspirations and goals.

How did Swiss Finance equip you with skills for your career?

As I truly enjoy meeting new people, and being in new environments, attending the program in Switzerland with so many dedicated faculty and other students was an ideal program for me. Personally and professionally, it was a great environment. At times it was intense and an enormous amount of knowledge to master, but in the end it was all worth it. I believe that I emerged from the program ready to interview for competitive positions with confidence, as well as with a great network of friends. Moreover, during the times stress would build, all I had to do was look at the window at the Alps to be reminded of what an incredible experience I was in the midst of. Career Goals: Travel, work, and hopefully attend an MBA program in Canada. I believe that I’ve set quite lofty, yet achievable goals for myself. However, I always bear in mind that these goals won’t be achieved without hard work and dedication.
