I think, for young people, and I think, for women, it's great to work in new products and derivatives products because, if you work in a plain-vanilla product, it's going to take you decades to get to a level where other people are.

That's the career I've had - I've always had fun with the things I'm doing. At the end of the day, it's always fun.
