Investment banking provides the opportunity to learn crucial skills in building large, complex financial models from the beginning of your career. Banks act as a key component to the financial system and the economy around the world. Investment banking is a hugely exciting career path to take with access to valuation and financial modelling work, exposure to high profile transactions and being a challenge and steep learning curve which many professionals thrive on.

The current climate has left many companies and investors in a difficult situation and in dire need of support to ensure they keep out of the red and remain in the black. The FTSE 100 has dropped dramatically since mid-February when the COVID-19 pandemic was starting to appear and affect the American economy. Globalization has been impacted heavily resulting in a stagnant situation in the flow of foreign direct investments. Prevention is the key to a solid business model and has proved to be priceless during this time. Risk management professionals recognize and highlight the possibilities of risk and act to ensure the threat is controlled in order to reduce the cost of these events and guarantee a constructive outcome from the interference.

The process of hiring and recruiting takes time, commitment and a capability to communicate with a wide range of people. The same applies for the process of applying for a job or career and this in turn requires flexibility and ambition.
