“My advice: treat the V.I.E as an opportunity to accelerate your exposure to new environments, responsibilities and professional networks. The more proactive and adaptable you are, the more value you will create for yourself over time (...) The V.I.E gave me the opportunity to gain international experience in a structured and secure environment, while keeping future options open.”
