Don’t know too much, only heard they are sweaty. Just make sure you like fintech - I think it’s a good place for an off cycle but you should think whether that’s where you want to focus on if you end up staying FT 

On the cufflink point - just buy a Charles Tyrwhitt shirt lol. I’ve never heard a discussion around cuff links in my life. Some people wear them but I would just have a normal white shirt 

 

Makes sense, thank you for the advice. I do think there's a massive future in FinTech so I don't think I'd be opposed to it.

Fair enough haha, I have a few of those so will just keep with that then.

 

yeah mate once bought a CT shirt and didn't read it properly and it was one of those without buttons so I had to buy cufflinks

 

Obviously the US franchise is a lot stronger; have heard the London office is a bit sweaty with more pitching and covering the LMM-MM. Think conversion rates there are historically low and that OC's are grinded into the dirt a lot, but if you like FinTech, I don't think FT Partners (despite the meming on this site) is a bad place to be. My only caveat is that European FinTech in general is no where near the size or volume of M&A in the US. I'd wager that the London teams will sway towards the capital raising / ECM side to build relationships as opposed to the apparent boom that's favoured by the pro-Crypto White House and donor network complex.
