“I never really considered banking until I met Thomas. As a private banker with over 10 years of experience across multiple continents, he puts the emphasis on building great relationships, one of the things I already love about journalism. Thomas’ insight and enthusiasm over the past year has gradually swayed me to pursue opportunities in the financial services industry, which is exactly what I’m doing now as I enter my final year. I guess this really demonstrates the value of being matched to a mentor from a different profession; it’s continually challenges your thought processes and helps you to explore different career paths. You never know where you’ll end up. Sometimes it will be for the better. Explore your curiosity! ” Samuel Chan
