Current position: Business Analyst, United Overseas Bank Limited (UOB)
About my company: Banking, 10,001+ employees
Degree earned at Audencia: GE 15
Nationality: Chinese
Residence: Singapore
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."

Culture of hard work and excellence. How it started: I completed two internships in JCDecaux sales department and was offered a place on the sales team at the end of my studies. I followed my career within the same group. My world Fun fact: In India, during a meeting, everyone wants to talk and give opinions; the difficulty is to keep focused. In Thailand (I was the Managing Director of JCDecaux Thailand previously), it is the exact opposite. Everyone remains completely quiet and would die rather than give a point of view. The type of management needs to be permanently adjusted according to the situation, the people and the subject. Adaptability is key. Why choose an international career?
