Finance Careers: What It REALLY Takes To Succeed [W&S 132 ft Blackrock & TRM Labs]

You need more than spreadsheets and suits to thrive in finance today. Forget the Wall Street stereotypes — the game has changed.

You’ll discover:

- The ONE mindset shift top finance pros swear by (hint: it’s not about suits or spreadsheets).

- Why LinkedIn visibility is now your secret weapon (even in compliance-driven roles!).

- The unspoken rules no one teaches you — until you learn them the hard way.

- How "work-life integration" beats balance (and why passion trumps paychecks).

Meet our powerhouse guests:

- Angela Ang, Head of Policy & Strategic Partnerships, APAC @ TRM Labs (Blockchain intelligence): From MAS regulator to crypto innovator — and a LinkedIn thought leader redefining policy influence.

- Zhong Liang Han, Senior Investment Strategist at BlackRock, Forbes 30 under 30, LinkedIn Top Voice in Finance with the blue tick, decoding volatile markets and building a personal brand from the trading floor.

They’ve shattered ceilings in traditional finance and crypto — and they’re spilling truths about grit, authenticity, and why finance is WAY more diverse than you think.

Don’t miss this candid crash course on building a finance career that doesn’t just pay well… but fuels you.
