15 Jun 2022 - Senior Solution Analyst in Hong KongRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Work culture (surrounded by people who're top in their field and passionate), insurance benefits

Constantly have to network for projects, companies gives you a lot of room to explore what you're interested in doing but as a result, there's very little guidance in what to do.
