to focus my interests and to suggest a path of study that would facilitate my ambitions. When looking into Swiss Finance, I contacted my boss at the time and after discussing the program with a Swiss Finance alumnus also employed at the firm, I decided to apply and attend. How did Swiss Finance enhance your career skills?
Swiss Finance taught me the skills that every investment banker must know. Through long hours of using excel and case studies, and listening to faculty perspectives, I gained a level of familiarity with the language of investment banking. Though I had finance and investing classes in college prior to attending the program, I was able to gain exposure to a much more advanced level in the Swiss Finance program. I believe that having this knowledge before beginning my career search offers an advantage in a competitive job market. Through my participation in the program, employers can see my dedication to the industry, and they know that I will be able to get up to speed very quickly. Leadership philosophy: In business school we talk a lot about team building, and in my opinion there is no better team building experience than playing a team sport where each person on the team is dependent on the rest of the team for success. In investment banking, the projects and challenges are too large for any one person; coordinated teamwork is an essential skill.
