Prospering during your time in university

AFM student uses goal setting to make the most of UWaterloo career

My name is Ritvik and I’m a 4A Accounting and Financial Management (AFM) student (although it feels like no time has passed since my first year). When I started my university career, I set out with one goal for myself: to get to know everyone in my program within my year.

That was a hard goal to accomplish but I progressed quite far! As time went on, my goals and priorities within the program changed. It changed to finding the right co-op jobs to figuring out what career suits me best. This led me to find an unconventional career path that I honestly fell in love with! I started out working in audit at KPMG, and now for my last co-op work term I’m working in operations for a crypto start-up. I found a passion for start-ups with the experiences I had within the AFM program, and I truly believe that the program can do that for everyone. The co-op program, extracurriculars and courses provide many opportunities to explore your career options.

The world is your oyster.
