Why Sales & Trading?

Sales & Trading has always been my first choice. Fast-paced and drawing on the quantitative nature of financial markets, it’s an environment that aligns perfectly with my experiences. As a nationally ranked badminton player, analyzing my opponent’s shot patterns and adjusting my strategy to target weaker areas is commonplace. By recognizing patterns, capitalizing on predicted shots is almost second nature. That process of making quick decisions and acting under pressure mirrors the way traders interpret market signals and react in real time.

At the same time, I have developed strong exposure to the sales side through my work at a wholesale jewelry business, SilversmithsNYC. It was there where I communicated directly with recurring clients to confirm orders and resolve issues. The experience truly helped me understand the importance of relationship building and clear communication in closing transactions. The combination of analytical thinking and client interaction is what makes S&T particularly appealing to me.
