What do you like most about your job? Is there anything that you dislike?
I don't dislike anything about my job. I love my job; I am excited to come to work daily! Home is boring for me! Work culture, my boss and team members are so great, that I have never experienced at this level of a professional career and it has a friendly environment which few other financial firms have had in the past.

Do not limit yourself to 1-2-3 things, LSE has tons of things to learn and explore on campus. Cash the brand LSE as much as you can! Be ready for intense exams and fun while preparing hard 24 hrs a day in LSE library!
