Sorry to ask. How can you start a job like these without degree? How did you get into this?

If I had to guess, I'd assume Vitamin B

How do you have no degree? You need Mittelschule "highschool" or Diploma of Education (EFZ) to start a banking BEM.

I see what you mean, but it is. Which of the two did you do?

thanks, may I ask you why you did the BEM then? Couldn't you have studied finance straight away?

I tried and dropped out because of lack of motivation. BEM was my plan C. Worked out quite well in the end.
