How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
I would say you're really self-motivated. You can work well in a fast-paced environment, or even a slow-paced one. You are constantly willing to learn something new and are really adaptable to your environment.
In finance, you work with a lot of different personalities. Someone in operations, an advisor, or the CEO all have different roles and qualities. Being able to adapt to those different individuals you work with is so important.
You have to be open to anything, because a lot of different things can be thrown at you. But also know how to stand up for yourself. It's about knowing where your balance is and where you can best thrive.
If I have 500 other tasks going on, it's really hard for me to do one task 110%, which should be your goal every day. But when you're overwhelmed, it's hard to do that. Knowing how to stand up for yourself in the finance industry is really important.
Also, knowing how to delegate is key. That can be scary because you don't want to come off as not getting your job done or missing deadlines. But delegating tasks and asking for help will always help you meet deadlines. It also ensures you're doing something accurately in the first place, rather than giving it 90%, so you can always give it 110%.
