You do come across some nice people once in a while, but you don't often get to work closely with them. More than 17 people (honestly, I counted) came to me and told me how lucky I am to get to work with this most senior partner in the capital market group globally. He is commonly regarded as charming, knowledgeable, respectful, nice, fair, polite and down to earth. People here all LOVE to work for him, and would try hard to get the chance to do so. For me, I get a priority to get work from him, because I am his trainee.
My first proper conversation with him over lunch was exceptionally casual. We talked like old friends, from more common questions like why do law at uni, to why he decided to give up being the head of the group, our family lives...
When he finally gave me the first piece of assignment, he took 30 minutes to explain the background and task, advised me how the task can be done in the most rewarding way and allowed me time to digest. I feel like a student in Oxbridge, where you get one-to-one tutoring class with a reputable professor. Although he's on holiday tomorrow, I am excited about working on my assignment tomorrow. Haha, sis, you must say, trainee trainee, value your excitment now as you won't get it later on. Let's see, maybe it's not as fun as I perceived. Or maybe I am excited because it's Friday tomorrow!!!!
Hope you all have a lucky "Black Friday"!
