Career advice on becoming a associate director by rob smith-fidelity international (highlights)

Full version at http://icould.com/videos/rob-smith-fidelity-international/?length=long Rob Smith is in Risk Management at Fidelity, an investment management company. But at school he loved science, and took a degree in science intending to do research in defence against chemical and biological weapons. But the political infighting for funding put him off and he went into accountancy instead. This led him to risk management, for another employer. But a new management team there 'pretty much walked in and tore up everything I'd done over the previous year, and it was pretty unpleasant time for a few months, and ultimately I elected to go.' However, he stayed in risk management and has found his niche at Fidelity.
