Listen "EP 275: From infrastructure consulting to public finance investment banking, with Ying Chen Axt"
Episode Synopsis
Ying Chen Axt spent six years as an Infrastructure project finance consultant before taking a nine year career break. While on career break, working around her child’s schedule, she studied for and passed the three rigorous and notoriously difficult Chartered Financial Analyst exams to gain the highly regarded CFA credential.
“It turned out the experience of studying for the CFA was instrumental: it not only helped me sharpen my technical skills, but also built my confidence and networks in the process.”
Using the knowledge gained from studying for the CFA, and leveraging her interests in infrastructure project finance and public finance, Ying recently landed an offer from a public finance investment banking team of a boutique women-owned, women-led investment bank.
We will get into the details of Ying’s career relaunch journey in today’s conversation.
