Hey very well written article, i to come from an engineering background and finance was completely new to me the same situation as you. You have written exactly what i feel, the correlation is honestly super high. Somewhere in the process of figuring out we have learnt quite a bit if not all. All the best for your future as well

Hi Mridula,

Gr8 article, and experience sharing how it feels to be in the world of numbers, prediction and human psycology of greed and caution.

Just one question if you don't mind... If you are having good interest in finance field, why biotech degree.

Asking just out of curiosity, because it's like stealing one seat from the person who is more interested in biotech, and who can contribute better with that degree and skill set.

Also stealing 4 precious years from yourself being into biotech which is actually not your Passion.

Happy for you, you reach where you are finding it really exciting. Just curious to know indecisive reasoning for study and ultimate career.

Actually my son is going to be in same situations in some years. I want to understand your thoughts so that I can help him right decision from beginning. Do what he actually love

Hello, thank you for the kind words!

I actually never meant that I wasn’t interested in biotech. I still am, and I still keep up with a lot of what’s happening in the field.

I think the thing is, when you choose a degree at the age of 16, you don’t really know all the things that might interest you later. That’s kind of what happened with me. I still find biotech fascinating, but right now I’m also finding numbers, markets and the way businesses and economies work extremely interesting.

So I don’t really see those four years as wasted :) They taught me how to learn and think, and I’m still carrying a lot of that with me.

And who knows, maybe at some point these two worlds overlap too :)

Hi

You know why they hired you, even though they need to put some extra effort in explaining.

Because of your great quality of curiosity. This brings out of box thinking because your mind is not blocked by the stablished rules.

Remember amature astronomers are the one who discovers new Comets.

All the best
