“Cultural differences do exist, but you can overcome for them by bringing your own value to the new
group.”
My work
My role: Business Analyst/Investment Bank Operation Group, working on the new project of rolling
out all securities to Murex V3.
Hard skills: Financial Knowledge (Bonds, Derivatives)/Murex V3 experience.
My company: In Paris, my work was more general, but in Singapore the projects are outsourced and I
am in a higher position.
How it started: I have related experience with Murex V3, solid knowledge of financial products and
an engineer-finance double degree. I got this internship thanks to the engineer & finance
background. It is always good to know some CS skills to find an internship. I utilised efinancial
careers, Monster and LinkedIn, plus the Audencia website.

My world
Culture shock: Co-workers had special habits in Paris, communicating differently. I felt I would not
able to provide any help in exchange for their support.
Why choose an international career?
Because I like to experience more and see the differences, and wanted to enhance my advantages in
proper places.
☛ Looking for a job is a good opportunity to learn. Don’t be scared by the experience requirements
(three years or five years, it doesn’t matter). I got a job which requests five years+ experience with
only one year’s experience. Build your own network. It’s really important to start preparing once you
join a business school.
