After leaving a global top tier investment bank, and joining a 100 person automated trading company, I have had some thoughts.
- Big banks have endless procedures needed to follow vs. finding the fastest way to get things done
- Big banks don’t care about what employers did vs. every piece of work is acknowledged and appreciated
- Big banks don’t care about who the employees are vs. everyone knows each other
- Big banks have large training sessions vs. 10+ one on one training sessions
- Big banks have many hierarchies vs. CEO comes to you often for any favor or questions
- Big banks have experts in almost every field vs. needing to self study all the fields crossed
- Big banks don’t promote people often vs. giving you a career path to choose and do projects on
