First, he completed his bachelor’s degree in the relevant area and then took admission at McGill University to pursue a Master’s qualification in Professional Accounting. He completed the course and got his degree in 2004.

However, his joy didn’t last long. The first job that he got in 2005 had nothing to do with his finance skills. Unexpectedly, he started his career as a Technical Recruitment Consultant.
