Memorable co-op experience: I worked at BMO Capital Markets for 3 work terms. One was as an Analyst at Trading Products in the trading floor. Two was as a Quantitative Research Associate at Equity Research. During the first one, I coded several applications for the trader to do their daily trading. One of the applications I've done has been used day-to-day which makes me feel satisfied. I enjoyed the culture of BMO and learned a lot of valuable knowledge during the term. The responsibility and enthusiasm BMO employees have surprised me a lot.
Plans for life after CFM: I plan to take my master degree after graduating. I'd like to take a master program which is similar to CFM, because I think there will be a great demand for CFM or related talents.
