Introducing a newbie from the Philippines to the WSO world

Hello WSO world!

I'm an undergrad from the Philippines, currently taking up economics and (hoping to) graduate by this year! I found out about this site from going around the world wide web looking for stuff about investment banking. I've been interested in this field and other finance fields, and i hope also to go into the sector once i graduate! :) So...yeahm i hope to be active here and learn from the community and maybe connect with many users from around the world too! Im excited to share my adventure from mere hopeful to finance expert (again, hopefully) and i'd really appreciate any tips for helping with my journey! Cheers!

Hey, I live in the Philippines and work in corporate banking (a lot of IB deals here still happen on the Corp. Bank level). Feel free to PM if you have any questions or need to network in the industry. Cheers and good luck!
