How did the both of you (Darren and Xun Xiang) entered into this sector? Curious to find out how you got into the finance industry and if that's something you've looked for?
I'm graduating next year and I still don't know what exactly do I want to do. Working in the finance industry always looks like a stable sector to work in with great benefits and good salary. That is not everything but it's also something. Would like to get some advice.

Honestly, there are too much pressure on social media telling people to chase their dreams or do what they love.
It is okay to not know what you want to do and it's perfectly normal. Inportant thing would be to adopt a growth mindset and be open to opportunities. Every work opportunity you get is an opportunity to learn skills that would stay with you for life.
In this VUCA environment, there are no stable jobs or sector other than civil service. Finance sector is glamorous but can be absolutely brutal and you need a lot of dedication to really shine. You probably should think about what kind of environment you would thrive in or what kind of skills are you looking to learn. There are a lot more jobs in the corporate world than you can fathom right now so do browse around on job boards to learn more.
You would do well to continue seeking opinions from others and learn more about the next 40 years of working life that awaits you.
