“During the fall semester in 2016, I interned at Mercer, Hong Kong, in the Investment Advisory team.

Working in a consulting firm was challenging but concurrently rewarding since it was fortunate for me to participate in different genres of projects in which the learning curve was going steeper and steeper along my journey in Mercer.

Besides, I recognized that soft skills appear to be equally essential in the workplace, for example, teamwork, communication and interpersonal skills, since liaising with clients and collaborating with colleagues are our everyday language at work.

Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all of my dearest colleagues in the Investment Advisory team as well as in Mercer for their continuous support and guidance throughout the past months.

“After I returned from my exchange study in US, I started immediately with my job at State Street working as a FX Trading intern.

“I was at MarcPoint, a big data technology corporation providing digital marketing consultancy, as an Algorithm/Data Mining engineer in 2016, responsible for developing the similar product classification system.
MarcPoint initiated the project due to the increasing interest from many vendors on Taobao to understand the current market and its competitors.
The algorithm is implemented with three stages including learning low-dimensional data representation, calculating distances between items and training model ensembles.

“I have long been dedicated to working in the finance industry in my near future.

“In summer 2016, I joined the HSBC Commercial Banking Summer Internship Program.
