A Day in My Life
How would you describe the daily tasks and routine in your finance job? What type of work do you spend most of your time doing? Which skills do you use most frequently in your finance role? Introducing the theme of UW WIF's latest blog series—A Day in My Life! WIF had the opportunity to chat one-on-one with UW graduates and students to learn about their day-to-day responsibilities as they worked in various areas of finance. In this series, we will be presenting insights on how these professionals navigated the day-to-day tasks and routine of one specific finance job they have held—from investment banking, to private equity, to venture capital, and more. |
