And now, my internship at HSBC Private Bank (Suisse) SA. The reason I entered the full name is that I'm still 'fascinated' and curious at why the Singapore office is 'merely' a Branch of the main holding company of HSBC Private Bank at Geneva, the branch is not even incorporated in Singapore. My attempts to find out the underlying reasons have been futile, and come the opportunity, I would love to find out about the kind of benefits this sort of structure brings to the group.
I am hugely blessed to have very kind and understanding colleagues at the department who have taught me a great deal and at times were very much like mentors to me, offering me insightful advice on wide-ranging issues. Undeniably, it was an honour to be the sole intern at HSBC from the CPA Australia Internship Program, but at the end of the day, it is what I can take away from my internship which will hopefully propel me that one step closer to getting into the profession and industry which has been severely battered in the past year. From Bankers to 'Banksters' (from the word Gangster), that just says it all.
On a lighter note, the internship was also an opportunity for me to catch up with my mates during the lunch break!

Stunning views, everyday.
