Ep 2 - Eric Sim, CFA

Slinging drinks in crowded night clubs. Serving up street food to hungry patrons 7 days a week. Vying for the opportunity to land a job catering to the demands of weary passengers on transatlantic flights. What do these widely unique experiences all have in common? They were the first steps that would ultimately guide one man's journey into the world of finance.
