  • Summary

  • Have a passion or interest in investing and ever wondered what it is like working at one of the largest sovereign wealth funds? Join us in this episode of Career Remix as we chat with Mr. John, a seasoned buy-side trader with a diverse background in computer science, financial engineering, and finance. He takes us through his journey from studying computer science at NUS, having a back office tech job at a bank to breaking into the fast-paced world of finance. Discover what drew him from the back office to the front lines of the finance industry, why he values the decision-making loops that shape his role, and the realities of buy-side versus sell-side trading.

    Mr. John addresses some common misconceptions about finance, shares the skills and traits essential for aspiring finance professionals, and explains why a curiosity for economics and the human side of the market can be just as valuable as technical knowledge. He also reflects on the role of AI and the importance of developing a well-rounded lifestyle and offers key advice for young people thinking of entering finance.
