Next destination: Mexico
The search has ended and the decision is taken: I am going to do my internship in ABN-AMRO in one wonderful country: MEXICO!
This decision won't surprise many of you, as for the last 2 years I've been saying I want to work in this bank, and well now it is happening!!
But some could be expecting a different move, why a Bank? well to your surprise maybe, my background is finance, I graduated in Finance and International Relations and I have developed a strong interest in sustainable finance, so this internship that is for ONE YEAR, will give me a good insight of how financial institutions operate and in a bank like ABN I will be able to understand how this business can contribute to sustainable development.
Although I see myself working in the third sector in the future, I am aware that one needs to have a multisectorial experience to be able to address issues of society in a more successful way, we will take longer to make big changes if we work alone, don't you think?
Well, the point is.. I'm happy, I feel ready to move forward, to face different challenges, have different working routines, and yes also leaving AIESEC as a member in leadership positions, now I'm moving to the working abroad stage, and I am sure Mexico will be a great place to do it.
I will have some time to prepare for this new move as the visa process takes some time, the good thing is that I will be able to stay some time with my family after 3 years of abscence, to catch up with friends I haven't seen in a while, and put myself in the mood for this new adventure... now I need to get redy to give a closure to this one in Brazil, and no.. it won't be easy.
Thanks to all of you who were crossing your fingers for things to work out for me, your supporting words these last weeks have gave me a lot of courage, and thanks to God who is always putting His hand behind every move I made.
