Trade Support / Settlement Clerk

Last summer I gained investment banking experience when I worked as a summer intern at Bear Stearns Asia Limited in Hong Kong. The reward was well worth it as they taught me so much about the basic in and out of the foreign exchange market and basic risk management, and I now understood the immense pressure that the traders are constantly under in this field. This experience will stand me in good stead for the various future challenges that I will face.
