Could you walk me through your career path, starting with your experiences in college? Did you have any internships or jobs before your current role?
When I was in college, I was a transfer student. It was typical for me to get a really good internship right at the start, as I was a junior transfer.
I had an internship in a marketing firm the first summer. After that, I received a full-time offer at "Hulihan Lokey" in their financial advisory group in San Francisco.
I was with Hulihan Lokey for about two years, in both their San Francisco and London offices. I left the US because I'm an international student and didn't have a visa.
I went to the London office, but I didn't like London that much. So, I moved to Singapore and joined a startup. After four or five years at the startup, I really enjoyed the job, but I felt it was the right time to start something on my own.
So, I started my company called "Super Bench." It's been almost a year now.
