However, a serendipitous switch to insurance broking has led him to a career he now couldn't imagine being without.      Luke's passion for the industry is fuelled by its diversity: "What makes insurance interesting to me is the variety of the clients, their stories, backgrounds, businesses, and challenges they face." This variety isn't just about the people; it's about diving deep into the mechanics of different industries, understanding the intricacies of products, and navigating the legal landscapes across borders. 🌏   But what truly elevates his career in broking? Mentorship and the chance to learn from the seasoned pros. These opportunities haven't just enriched his knowledge—they've taken him worldwide, from London to Munich, broadening his network and skills and ultimately aiding in enhancing the service he delivers to his clients.    The broking profession truly cares about people, and this resonates with Luke, a volunteer firefighter with the CFA. "I love being able to help people in their time of crisis," he says. Not only am I learning about different clients' businesses and helping to protect them, which has been very rewarding, but the industry also likes to celebrate the professionals who do good work, which is extremely motivating."     Luke offers the following insights to those on the fence about their career direction: "I wish people knew that financial services include more than just banking and accounting – insurance is such a rewarding career both professionally and financially."      His story isn't just a career journey; it's a call to those seeking a profession that offers variety, growth, mentorship, and the chance to make a real difference.  📈    #CareerChange #graduate #graduateopportunities #InsuranceBroking #ProfessionalGrowth #GlobalOpportunities #MakingADifference  #insureyourfuture
