The Career Sphere: Recent Episodes
Ambassadors in Business
The world is full of possibilities and the future belongs to those who remain curious. So here on The Career Sphere we invite a new guest speaker each episode to share their experiences from the world of work and the lessons they have learnt on their career journey so far.
If you’re not quite sure where your future might lead, or if you’re not quite sure what your options are, this podcast is a smart and snappy starting point for making decisions about your careers.
It's our 12th episode, and we are joined by the wonderful Caroline Hultman, who works as an Investor for J12 Ventures, a venture capital firm in Sweden. In this episode, Caroline comprehensively breaks down what Investing actually is, busts some common myths about the industry, and clearly explains the differences between Investing and Investment Banking.
Alongside her main job, Caroline is also the co-founder of a fantastic charity called Girls Are Investors (GAIN). This charity seeks to improve gender diversity in investment by supporting more young women into the world of investing through internships, university career talks, and free online webinars. Check out their website for more details: https://www.gainuk.org/
