When I first started, I had a lot to learn about the investment world and compliance standards but I was equipped with the tools and training I needed to succeed.
In my last job, I worked mostly on my own. Here, I get to work in a team environment every day.
I even get some of my best referrals from my teammates. And since I work with people in so many different departments, I’m able to build connections and learn more about other roles.
Everyone here is really supportive of your career growth. I meet with my manager on a regular basis to talk about my goals, and she gives me advice for how to make them a reality.
