Why Passion Beats Prestige in Fintech Careers | bunq’s Chief Strategy Officer, Bianca Zwart

Bianca Zwart, Chief Strategy Officer at bunq, gives a simple yet strong tip: do what you really love. She notes that making a difference isn’t easy and brings its share of challenges. If you’re not into what you do, the whole experience can be tough and exhausting rather than fulfilling.

Bianca points out that many people pick jobs based on how they’ll look on LinkedIn or what others think. But honestly, she says, no one really cares about that. What really counts is whether you enjoy your work, as that’s what helps you push through the hard times.

For folks in fintech and banking, Bianca’s message is clear: focus on finding work that means something to you, instead of chasing approval from others, because that’s what leads to real success and happiness over time.
