I appreciate not everyone is in a position to do this but those risks have truly paid off in shaping my career.

No day is the same and the autonomy to structure my work helps me achieve at my best. I enjoy the pace within Asset Management - there is a constant drive to get things done!

Top Insider Advice

Only you will truly know yourself and what you do and do not like. When you are deciding on a role you have to weigh up is it appropriate for you, but also what is your 'gut feel'. Not just about the role, but the people and organisation. You will spend many years of your life in the workplace, so it is critical you enjoy what you do. I have been fortunate in that 95% of time I have loved the work, experiences and people I have worked with. There will always be tasks we don't quiet enjoy, but it is my fondness for the role which has kept me here for 22 years
