Strategy and Transactions - Transaction Diligence and Analytics Graduate

Hello - good question!

The most challenging aspect of my role, particularly in Financial Due Diligence and Data Analytics, is navigating the nuanced landscape of commercial knowledge. Unlike many technical skills that can be acquired through books or courses, building a robust understanding of the commercial intricacies is primarily cultivated through practical experience.

To prepare for such a dynamic environment, I would recommend fostering a habit of inquisitiveness even before embarking on your professional journey. Continually asking 'why' in a learning environment allows you to delve into the deeper rationale behind our actions. This proactive curiosity not only accelerates your learning curve but also sets the foundation for a mindset that seeks to comprehend the underlying principles, fostering a more informed and strategic approach to tasks in the workplace.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Vid
