ED Networking call 30 mins, ER LONDON HELP!
Hello my beautiful monkeys. I will give a little background for me..
So I am 26 year old, graduate with masters from UK and now I am working as Equity Risk Analyst in JP. The think is that my role is middle office and I accepted this offer cause I had rejected from UBS in Equity Research and now with the appropriate networking I have a call with the Executive Director and Hiring manager of Equity Research in London. The person was very kind and even told me to catch up a coffee in New York (lol) but we decided to have 30 min call in next Monday.
Now as I say my big love is Equity research, before 2 weeks I finished my first Equity research report and I cannot see my self in the future not working there. Thats why I made this post... Can you please help on how to bring this conversation to my side? This call can be nothing or it can give me really good chance to have an interview in the future..
I need your responses
FYI it is not "the" Executive Director. It is an executive director. There are multiple. It is not the head of the department of anything. Likely the head of a team or sector. English isn't your first language but just wanted to make that clear so your expectations are where they should be.
As for the advice, just have a conversation, express interest in their work and career and let it flow from there. At some point you can bring up your report, tactfully, but don't make it weird. If you wanna pitch to them, be able to give a literal 1 minute pitch. If the call has gone well, ask them if there's anyone else they'd recommend speaking to.
Yeah, think Executive Director for UBS is like an Associate / VP at other bank?
Do you think that if he or she likes me, can give me the chance to talk with other sectors/departments? Does he or she has the "power" to give me an advantage as a hiring manager also? Thank you for the clarification also.
Even if they don't like you that doesn't stop you from talking with other departments or sectors.
Idk what you really mean by hiring manager here. Anyone who is hiring for their team is a hiring manager. There isn't one for the entire department (well, management/HR might screen CVs but ultimately the decision is normally made by whoever is leading the team that is hiring). Are you saying this person currently has an open position on their team? If so then of course they have influence over who gets hired... If you're asking whether they can influence you getting hired for a team they are not in e.g. they're a pharma analyst and you want to work in cap goods then no they can't really do anything except make an introduction.
Thank you so much for all these info cause you make me see things more clear and not get overhyped for this call.. So I got to her cause a managing director from utilities department scheduled a call for January and he also told me to reach to this person(he/she told that this person is executive director and hiring manager only these) and then I checked in Linkedin and says. Associate Director of European Equity Research, Executive Director . But it doesn't say in a specific sector. Now what this means? I am sorry for spamming but I am trying to see if it is going to be a casual or even make me and technical questions to see where I stand.
Associate Director is their job/role. Executive director is they're rank/title.
An associate director of research (ADR) is basically the deputy/assistant head of the department. This is the management I was referring to IE the ones who can screen CVs and maybe direct them to the right place. I guess they're as close to "the" hiring manager as you get.
Add to what the above said, Associate Director or Director of Research are members of the management team in the Research Department, and they’re typically the last people you speak to after having conversations with the hiring manager who is looking to add an associate to their team and the rest of the team members and other sector team leads. Associate Director/ Director of Research typically do not have much impact in hiring decision (cuz they don’t care) at the analyst/associate corporate title level aside from headcount/budget constrain.
