There have been a lot of recent threads of people leaving the industry and shinning a negative light on the whole experience. They all seem to be honest from the heart post from people who truly wanted to be in banking. This has made me very curious as I will find out very soon if I landed a FO role for a BB here in Houston. I came from the cellar of banking so I am excited to have made it this far. I have no internships and come from a bad non-target.
I have been working so hard for this chance and I really feel I am closer than ever but the harsh truths from trusted sources can make anybody hesitate. Especially if it Involves a career change. I am in my late 20’s and I have had a change in perspective also from my younger self. Still, I want a shot at banking because I believe I can hang. It is definitely a challenging career but some people like to be challeneged.
Still I am curious on how the experienced critics would change the banking industry in terms of operation?
P.S.: The only reason I am even in contention for this job is because of the WSO community and those sweet interview guides. Sincerely thanks you
Get in there first buddy. Personally, I think we are just a clog in the machine. The machine has a mind of its own and its motivation is to destroy everything that come in its way. I have asked the same question to my mentors (Partners and MDs). Their only response is what you say only matters when you are offered a seat at the table. Until you have a consolidated power base behind you, it will be an uphill battle to change anything.
Agree buddy. I just want to get in and prove myself and become a better finance professional. I was just curious about the people in the biz perspective (like yours). If there was a "suggestion box" outside your MD's office what would you put?
