£1 million pounds cash💵 or 1p that doubles every day for 30 days?
⚖️Which would you choose?
This was the question posed by Deji Bakare at the end of the Day 4 of the Social Mobility Business Partnership week at BNY Mellon.
Aiming to improve and learn a small amount every day is more important than a short term big win.
This was a relevant and important nugget of advice to sum up the day which began with an inspiring and solid welcome from Janet Johnstone.
Have Patience, Resilience and Tenacity --> these were some key takeaways I received from Janet and I kept these in mind when participating in the very exhilarating trading game.
📉📉📈To be frank, my team did NOT win the trading game however we did end up with a final profit of £6,400 on our portfolio after 3 rounds of buying and selling stocks and commodities.
I would like to give thanks to my fellow team members for contributing great insight into how to reevaluate our positioning and I really enjoyed our group dynamic despite coming in 3rd place🥉
Overall, Thank you to everyone from BNY Mellon who shared their stories I found it particularly helpful to hear about your roles in all different areas of the bank, ranging from Relationship Management, Risk, Product Management & Compliance to name a few.
These preceded some final contemplations for the day➡️
1. How does what I do contribute to the bottom line?
2. What can I do to manage my career from day 1?
3. What can I learn every day that stretches my boundaries and widens my knowledge?
P.S. In case you were wondering 1p that doubles every day for 30 days results in £5,368,709.12!!😯
