Do you find your day interesting? What is the biggest challenge you have overcome?

Hi Annahelen456, I find my role both rewarding and engaging, as I’m constantly pushing myself to develop further. I have found that the more I grow in my role, the more opportunities I have to contribute to interesting projects. Recently, I’ve joined my team’s Fun Committee, helping to organise social events and a weekly fun newsletter, which has made me enjoy my role even more in my fourth year. The biggest challenge I’ve overcome was in my first year, when I had to sit my CISI professional exams. Coming from a non-financial background (with A-levels in geography, music, and English literature), learning about financial products and investments was a steep learning curve—but it gave me a solid foundation and built my confidence moving forward!
