Being new to the industry means you bring a fresh perspective — one that isn’t jaded. You don’t see the financial profession the way it’s always been, but the way it could be. Make sure to express these opinions in order to validate them, but also to shake up the status quo where needed. Most likely, your recent education and other experiences have exposed you to original ways of thinking. The best firms know how to tap into this to improve their business. This industry needs you to survive; make sure you give it your best."
