“I joined PostFinance seven years ago as an assistant to the CFO. I’ve always worked a lot, even during my studies, so it was clear to me that I wanted to take a chance on direct entry. It’s a decision I’ve never regretted. From day one, I felt part of the team. I was always able to continue my development inside and outside PostFinance, and I was supported by my managers. I pursued my studies in didactics on the side and taught at vocational school for several years. Later on, I was given the opportunity to take on a new challenge internally as the officer for university admissions.”

“You couldn’t describe me as a typical ‘direct entrant’ – but rather as someone who worked hard to switch disciplines after completing their studies. My path to IT started with an apprenticeship and then continued with a Bachelor’s degree in business engineering. After finishing my studies, I worked as a project and application manager in the energy sector. At the same time, I started a Master’s in business information technology. At PostFinance, I was then given the opportunity to take up a position in IT architecture, which was a better match for me and my studies. I knew it was an opportunity that I wanted to seize. Looking at it that way, you could say that I managed direct entry into a new discipline.”
