Episode Synopsis

Today on the podcast, I sit down with 2019 alumna Alia Dahlan.  Alia is a financial analyst for Barclays in Manhattan.  Barclays is one of the top 10 largest investment banks in the world and is similar to some other names you may have heard like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Morgan Stanley.  When Alia was a student not that long ago, she took advantage of nearly everything that the WCOB had to offer her - she was a Walker Fellow, Holland Fellow, member of the Bowden Investment Group, member of the Women of Walker, and so many more things. She has some great advice for folks new to the workplace as she has just completed her first year working with her team partially in her office in time square as well as remotely for several months now.  In this episode she gives new employees some advice about connecting with their team, but I will let her tell you more about that herself.  So, without further ado, here is my conversation with Alia.
Tips from Alia:

Know how your team likes to be communicated with.
Get to know your team first thing - it's awkward if you try to do it later.
Never be afraid to ask questions.
