Student Story

Before I began my MBA, I was working in the operations team of an education tech company in Silicon Valley. One of the reasons I opted for HKU was the tremendous growth in the technology sector in Hong Kong and the opportunities that were present. Very soon after moving to Hong Kong I noticed a big opportunity in the fintech industry which was the perfect marriage of worlds from my past experience (corporate banking and technology startups).

Taking the opportunities afforded by the HKU alumni networking events, I was able to immerse myself in startup and technology circles in Hong Kong. During my studies in Hong Kong and during our exchange programme with London Business School, I was able to undertake live consulting projects with fintech companies. These experiences greatly helped me learn more about the fintech space in Asia and also showed my future employers that I had a genuine interest in fintech.

By having a focused approach from the very beginning to what sector I wanted to work in, I was able grow my network, add great experiences to my CV and make my case as a well-qualified and knowledgeable candidate. It was through the network that I had developed at HKU that I met my eventual employer. The Career Services team does a great job in presenting the students with plenty of employment and networking opportunities.
