I stumbled upon these interviews done by a journalist in the UK. He recently conducted 70+ interviews with a wide array of different finance professionals (everyone from interns to MDs and BO to M&A). Thought it was pretty interesting:
Voices of finance: an index to put the pieces in place. A handy list, broken down by activity, of the 70+ interviews so far with those working in and around the City of London.
The 70+ interviews so far divide into Voices of Finance (those working in finance) first and Voices on Finance (those working or living with people employed in finance) next. The list below starts with advisory and dealmaking, subdivided into investment banks, financial firms and "entourage". Then it's financial markets, similarly broken down, followed by the (admittedly somewhat incongruous) categories treasury, restructuring, project finance, private equity, insurance and retail. Then it's the support functions inside banks (from compliance to IT, human resources, marketing etc.) and finally the rest, those outside banks or financial firms such as consultants.The Voices on Finance are extremely varied, and in particular the portraits of the (ex-)partners of bankers purport to be nothing more than that; one piece in a huge mosaic.
Good find.
Very interesting indeed. I appreciate when they interview people who don't come off as show-offs.
thanks, this is gold
Good find, SB.
These interviews are very helpful in crafting the "why banking" answer. Some good reasons are given by the analyst interviews.
