This is a great list of lessons. Small adjustments/investments have a big impact over time and are almost always the cause of grand results.

Twenty years ago today, a very nervous 23-year-old walked through the doors of 1 Embankment Place on her first day of working at PwC UK. She had no real plan for her career. She didn’t know how long she’d stay at PwC. She didn’t know what direction her life was heading in. There was a lot about the world that still felt unclear. Two decades later, she’s now a 43-year-old hitting a milestone. 20 years of working for PwC. About to see her fourth Chairman and Senior Partner. Two promotions. Multiple roles and teams worked in. A complete culture shift from having a desktop and not being able to work from home to being able to stay connected via mobile phone. She is me. I was recently asked why I’ve stayed here so long. The answer to that was two-fold. The people and my life. They’re intertwined really. Because at all stages of my life be it celebratory or heartbreaking, the people have been there. I can’t pretend every single second of the last 20 years has been easy professionally. That I haven’t faced challenges and frustrations. That I haven’t considered leaving and exploring other opportunities. That I haven’t wondered what life would be like outside of PwC. But something always keeps me here. A change of role. The people. My life. Four years ago, when my personal life imploded, started heading in a new direction and my world once again became unclear, PwC was there for me. In a way that surpassed my expectations. Staff, clients and alumni. It is something I will never, ever forget. I don’t know what the next 20 years have in store for me. I don’t know where my life will take me. I don’t know what’s next in my career. Who knows whether I’ll be writing a status in 20 years marking my 40th anniversary. All I do know is how proud and grateful I am to PwC for all the opportunities (including a selfie with Jason Donovan) afforded to me and the amazing people I’ve had the fortune of working with during my PwC career to date. It’s special.

In my 2-month journey with EY, I've experienced growth and learning opportunities. From collaborating with talented professionals to tackling challenges, it has been a transformative experience. Check out these highlight from my incredible time at EY #EYJourney #ProfessionalGrowth 🚀📈🔍

Hi everyone!! Today I m happy to share that I have completed 6 months in EY. Joining Big 4 is one of the dream come true for me. I used to wonder how people work in Big 4 and what makes Big 4 different from others. Now, I understood it's valuable because it doesn't only teaches you how to work. It forces you to figure out how you can work things out. Highlighting some of my key takeaways : 1. Be curious - Curiosity is indeed a powerful trait to cultivate, and asking questions can lead to a deeper understanding of your work. 2 Be observant - Being observant and paying attention to details can make a big difference in your daily tasks. 3. Communication skills- Communication skills are crucial in any role, and being able to express yourself clearly is key. 4. Interpersonal skills - Interpersonal skills are essential for collaboration and teamwork. 5. Patience - Patience is a virtue, especially during challenging moments. I want to express my deepest gratitude to my incredible team led by Vishal Budhia Vivek Agarwal Rishi Acharya. Your support and cooperation has made this journey enjoyable.

Yesterday I had the chance to attend an alumni event of the #EYfamily. I was lucky enough to be part of EY between 2011 and 2014. Despite the heartwarming feeling of chatting with friends and old colleagues it was great to share stories and business ideas: they are great sparring minds to talk with! I feel very lucky about these connections even though a decade (!!) has already passed by. So here three thoughts that came up during my flight back home, for you, regardless of your job and background: 1. Don’t let anyone put you inside a box, unless you want to be in it. “Finance people are boring people”. No they (we) are not. It can be fun to joke about it but the moment you accept it, you start behaving like it. 2. ⁠Big4 and such corporate organizations are a great place to work and build robust professionals, no matter how long your career within the company is, you will be put in situations from which you will learn, grow and use that knowledge and expertise in the future. 3. ⁠You are the Chief of your life and responsible of your decisions. Be honest with yourself in what you want for your future, draft your own plan and go for it. It's okey to make mistakes as long as they are YOUR mistakes. Or someone else will end up choosing for you.
