My move to Los Angeles in August 2012 represented not only a great professional challenge
—to work with only two senior bankers and cover all California financial institutions—but also a personaI opportunlty;a chance to broaden my views.I grew up in Paris and lived in the capital for 21 years before moving to New York;I definitely was a city girl! Los Angeles,however demanded that I adapt to a whole different world,where sport rather than opera rhythms the season
I knew that my first year in the Los Angeles office would be extremely bus y.In fact I worked 90 hours per week that year.To keep my health and a good spirit,I was determined to try and leam a sport that had always fascinated me:surfing.Thus I bought a brand new longboard and staI.ted the experience on a sunny Saturday afternoon under the merciless close examination of the local surfers,all males,who did not hide their disrespect for my pale skin and weak arms s0 typical of an investment_bankerl;Surfing seemed at first an impossible task:my board always mysteriously rebounded on my head,while the waves would break exactly where 1 was paddling(划).At work.“here was an explosion of lighter:why, a twenty-six year old Parisian,surfing?This had to be French humor!
I managed to practice every weekend.Last summer,I finally stood up on my board and rode
