Topics
Anthony: 本期节目将探讨Mahgul Ansari从语言学到投资管理的职业道路，以及她如何利用独特的技能组合在金融行业建立优势。我们将讨论职业转型、个人品牌、真实性以及对年轻人的建议。 Mahgul Ansari: 我在金融服务领域有20年的经验，包括会计和投资管理。我最初在牛津大学学习语言，后来转到伦敦大学学院。我选择会计是因为它具有挑战性，并且可以了解企业的内部运作。虽然我获得了ACA资格，但我很早就意识到会计不适合我。我利用我的语言技能，加入了德勤卢森堡办事处，审计投资基金，这让我对金融市场产生了浓厚的兴趣。后来，我转行到股票研究，并在Premier Miton担任助理投资组合经理。我认为自我发现很重要，要找到你的热情和优势，并不断探索和尝试。我面临的挑战包括缺乏相关经验和“不合适”的反馈，但我通过自学、向行业专业人士请教以及积极展示自己的技能来克服这些挑战。
