What piece of advice for our students and for people willing to work in Paris? Paolo, we have talked about fashion and luxury, but I would like to ask you from an HR and a market perspective, is Paris mainly about fashion and luxury or are there other sectors that are growing and offering interesting opportunities for international talents?
13:55
Absolutely, Giulia.
13:56
Not at all.
13:57
Paris is not just fashion and luxury.
13:59
I consider that the number of listed companies headquartered in Paris is much higher than the Italian one, for example.
14:07
I think London is only higher than Paris from that perspective.
14:11
Looking at the industries.
16:35
And I would also like to ask you, what are the key factors to build a successful career in Paris? I'm thinking about maybe connection, networking or the other.
