Last year I changed
positions from a manager at Deloitte to the Global Tax Director at Suntech
Power.
Recently I have been
reflecting on my 7 year work experience at Deloitte in Chicago, it wasn't my
first job in Chicago I actually started my career by spending three years at a
capital management firm in Chicago which was also an excellent experience.
I started working as
an associate at Deloitte in Chicago and I left Deloitte after assignments in
Shanghai and Hong Kong, at the title of manager, which was a position I was
promoted early too.
I earned extensive
knowledge and experience in development and implementation of strategies to
manage companies' global effective tax rate while working in the Chicago
office. While there I had
the opportunity to serve multinational companies like Boeing, Kraft, Goldman
Sachs, SPX and many more in the manufacturing, energy & resources,
technology, consumer goods, and financial services industries. The various
"Standing Ovation Award”, "Applause Award" and other recognition I earned while in the Chicago office are a great reminders of my
time there.
While working in the
Chicago office I also made many life-long friends and mentors. They taught me
not only tax planning techniques, but also professionalism, integrity,
technology, team work and respect. Sometimes I miss the
excitement of the high pace international environment of Deloitte, as well as
the great internal training they provide and our Impact Day charity
events.
My new position has
given me a wide range of professional experiences in which I am able to keep
growing. Over the last year plus at Suntech I transformed from the person
giving advice to the person actually doing it and that has been a thrilling
experience.
It wasn't an easy
decision to make and it took much consideration to leave Deloitte to pursue a
new adventure as Global Tax Director at Suntech Power.
I really enjoyed
working at Deloitte and I appreciate the rewarding experience I have been
given, what I have learned during those 7 years at Deloitte will benefit me for
life.
