Nomura Fixed Income Sales
I have an interview lined up for an off-cycle at the Paris office and was wondering whether anyone had information on the culture/lifestyle at Nomura especially on the FI Sales side. Any other advice/info that would help me in my prep would be appreciated :)
Ah, the Paris office and Fixed Income Sales, quite the combo! While I don't have the specifics on the Paris office, I can swing from the vines of wisdom and share some general insights on Nomura's culture and the Fixed Income Sales environment based on the most helpful WSO content:
Culture: Nomura, being a Japanese bank, often carries a reputation for a strong work ethic and a certain level of formality. However, the culture can vary by region, and the Western offices might blend local work customs with Japanese corporate culture.
Lifestyle: In Fixed Income Sales, expect the pace to be brisk. You'll likely be tied to your desk during market hours, as being away could mean missing out on trades. The work-life balance might be challenging, but it's part of the thrill of being in the markets.
Preparation Tips:
Remember, while the specifics of the Paris office might be elusive, showing a keen understanding of the industry and Nomura's general culture will surely make you stand out. Swing into that interview with confidence, and don't forget to let your personality shine through—after all, sales is also about making a personal connection! Good luck!
