What do you enjoy most about being in the finance industry?
Financial Services is the cornerstone of the economy. Understanding finance gives you a bird's-eye view into how other businesses obtain the financial resources they need to execute their plans.
Understanding Financial Services provides insight into the global economy, but it also helps you understand microeconomies. One of the things I enjoy about financial services is learning about different complex products and how different currencies are transmitted across the globe. I also find it fascinating to understand how trade is facilitated.
Personally, I find that fascinating. That's one of the reasons why I've always been enamored with banking and capital markets.
