Key points from the Life in FinTech Podcast Episode 3:
- Kishan studied computer science at university on a whim and found himself working in the world of software development. Although Kish is passionate about technology, a career in software development didn’t suit his personality,
- Kishan enjoys working in recruitment as he found it utilises both his people and technical skills, something he didn’t get from software development.
- Kishan eventually landed his job in EC1 and hasn’t looked back.
- One of Kishan’s favourite things about the role is helping candidates find jobs in places they may not have looked otherwise.
- Kishan has had 2 promotions in the last year, which he credits to his drive and desire to learn and grow.
- Kishan is passionate about sharing his journey and offering career advice to those studying technology.
- Kishan would recommend that anyone who doesn’t know what they want to do should reflect on what their strengths are and what they want from a job. Once they have figured that out they can use those pieces of information to figure out what job suits them.
