I always wanted to explore the world of finance in conjunction with my engineering background. I did not know how that would work out, or if I would have to take an intermediate step. I feel very lucky to have been able to join the financial world at Goldman Sachs. People at Goldman Sachs are intelligent, driven, and extremely knowledgeable.

I encourage people who are interested in a career in finance to follow their interests. Finance is extremely broad and there are segments within finance that touch every industry. Another perception that I had to get over is that I would be lost in an organization as large as Goldman Sachs. It was a nice surprise to discover that the core team I ended up working for was small and run as its own business unit.
