So, I was encouraged to introduce myself.

And Patrick gave me this guideline:
1. Where you are from
2. How you found WSO
3. What you hope to get out of your membership

So, hello. I am a penultimate year Finance student from Indonesia hoping to get into a career in banking or capital market. I don't think the industry here is even close to Wall Street though.

The first time I visited WSO was when I was researching about CFA vs MBA comparison about 6 months ago. I decided to enroll for the CFA program and I am now striving to obtain my Level 1 in the upcoming June.

I have only registered to become a WSO member a month ago, though. I don't really know what I am looking for by joining, but I think WSO would be a great place to chill. And the free lessons have been nice too.

Have a good day!
