2024 Starts with a Plot Twist My 2-year run at eToro has come to an end after being included in a downsizing initiative. While surprising, change drives new opportunities. I'm thankful for my time at this global fintech firm - a talented team, scrappy energy, and leading innovations. No doubt eToro will continue disrupting the space. The experience propelled my skills forward. Thank you eToro. I now bring sharper abilities in operations management, compliance, account administration, and cross-functional collaboration. Successfully I: - Optimized processes improving efficiency and compliance - Managed account openings and KYC verification - Facilitated new product launches - Created executive reports and recommendations - Restructured systems, lifting performance I'm eager to see what next chapter this plot twist reveals. Open to connections and opportunities to apply my strengthened skillset in new environments. #openforopportunities #hiring #recruiting #jobsearch

Spotted a recent post by CRED CEO Shah on Twitter claiming "A+ people only hang out with other A+ people." While surrounding yourself with inspiring folks is valuable, this idea feels a bit narrow. Let's dissect it! ▶️Friendships > Report Cards: Your BFF isn't a performance review! Friendships are about shared experiences, laughter, and that feeling of "getting" each other. Judging someone's potential by their crew is a recipe for missing out on amazing connections. ▶️Diversity is the Spice of Life (and Success):High achievers know the value of a well-rounded team (or friend group!). Maybe your musician friend's best bud is a coder. Their different perspectives can spark mad creativity! ▶️Growth is a Journey, Not a Destination: We all start somewhere, right? Maybe your "mediocre" friend is secretly a hidden talent waiting to blossom. True friends celebrate each other's journeys, no matter the starting point. How to ACTUALLY Build A+ Relationships (the Fun Way):🤝 ✅ Find Your Inspiration Squad:Seek out people who motivate you! Hit industry events, join online groups, or even mentor someone – you might be surprised by what you learn. ✅ Share the Love: Don't just soak up knowledge, share it too! Teaching others is a fantastic way to solidify your own skills (and make a friend feel awesome). ✅Shared Values FTW:Find people who rock your core values, whether it's a killer work ethic, a love of learning, or a passion for rescuing kittens. ➡️The bottom line? Strong connections are built on respect, encouragement, and a willingness to learn from each other. Let's ditch the A+ vs. mediocre labels and celebrate the power of diverse friendships!
