I love what I do. I love getting to talk with these people, and I feel like I'm learning something every day. You also have to be a really good listener, which I think is an underestimated skill.

Managing directors at top-tier investment banks may pocket a million a year and be worth tens of millions after a long career. Early employees at tech firms like Uber, Airbnb, and Snapchat can make many times that amount of money in a matter of years.

It's not easy, but I truly that think being a good listener is an important part of being a good journalist.

If you want to do this job, you have to really want it because it's hard. It's a long road to get here. I moved all over the world, but it's worth it. I love what I do.
