This episode Sierra Tonnesen will make you realize that you CAN do it all. While at BC, she devoted herself to her schoolwork, invested hours each week into WIB as co-president in 2019, and she ran on the women’s varsity track team. But, when Sierra talks about balancing her multi-faceted day in the life, she breaks down how it really is all so manageable. We talk about how Sierra's confidence in herself allowed her to do everything she needed to without getting overwhelmed. The more experiences she had where she succeeded, the more she was able to take on the next challenge in a self-assured way. This mindset is with her now as a Financial Planning Analyst at Morgan Stanley. We get into all the details of what that position is and what her recruiting process was like for her internships at UBS and Morgan Stanley. Expect to hear Sierra’s thoughts on being collaborative in the workplace vs competitive, but also on how managers notice who is bringing value to a team. Sierra has a mentor who has helped her advance in her position, and Sierra also took on her own role helping younger analysts very early on in her career. Later, we discuss how to address feelings of judgement and Sierra gives insight on how always having your larger goals in mind can help you keep you grounded in moments of doubt.
