UK -> China -> Singapore

Hi all!

The big green "INTRODUCE YOURSELF" button's been bugging me for a while now, thus I decided to give in.

I graduated June 2014 from a good, although non-target uni in the UK, right after I did an internship in China at the company that is a Chinese equivalent of Bloomberg.

As my time was running out there and I wanted to move on, I managed to land a longer-term internship at AM / PWM firm in Singapore, solely through cold-emailing.

The firm is very new (3 years) with 1bn in AUM. They don't have a standard internship program, which I find beneficial.

WSO has been a great resource so far and I look forward to contributing to its development.

Any tips on how to show initiative and how to make the most of my time here will be appreciated!

Cheers!
