Showing impact and growth at work is very important, supported by strong recommendations. Are you also involved in activities outside of work? Any hobbies and interests?

Although I am actually more interested in doing ib (talked to my company's leaders and they recommended me to do ib or consulting before coming back to tech) Impact / Growth : 1 promotion for company #2, current company -> created my own team and helped my company's product successfully launched abroad . Activities outside of my work : - made a computer vision model for a startup in japan, helping them to get funded / get few deals. - huge soccer fan/ captain of my previous team (left because i changed location) - art enthusiast (0)
