Did you choose the job you’re in or did you fall into it? I definitely didn’t plan it this way but glad it happened!

I can't say that I ever planned on going into finance when I was younger. But I'm glad I'm here now. I always thought I would be a nurse or something, but I ended up gravitating towards my data and math classes, which eventually landed me in finance.

My current position found me through a series of coincidences and serendipitous events. I not only didn't plan it, I don't think I could have planned it as I had no idea this position existed. But like you, I'm glad it happened.

I fell into it. I met up with a few friends for drinks a couple years ago and got introduced to a friend of a friend who also works in finance. We got talking shop, she mentioned an opening, and two months later we were working together.
