Standard Chartered, Hong Kong’s Priscilla To explains how returning to her home country gave her the opportunity to work with influential clients, contribute to high-profile global projects and build an international career.
I joined Standard Chartered as a Graduate after graduating from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2020. I was excited to embark on my career in banking and wanted to develop my skills with an organisation that invested in innovation and supported its employees to build successful careers. Standard Chartered’s strategic positioning in Hong Kong coupled with its global footprint creates an extraordinary opportunity to connect with international clients, which motivated me to return to my home country to begin my career in one of the fastest-growing financial markets in the world. The Bank’s Graduate Programme is also well known for its industry-leading career development strategies and unique opportunities to gain international exposure. After completing the Graduate programme and spending a year in my role as an Associate, it is clear that working with a global bank has helped me to lay the foundations for a prosperous career.
