𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬? 👀 Goldman Sachs seems to be 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 (Vice President / Director) by the looks of my LinkedIn news feed this week. A stark contrast to literally every other bank... 💰Someone please explain (other than they have gold-sachs of money...)? The talent they are swooping up is INSANELY good, like through gritted teeth I am watching the best of the best, top talent going off market 😬. Happy for them, sad for me. C'est la vie. I have theories: 1. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬. 'tis the time to get the top talent who have been made redundant, at competitive rates and not having to compete with anyone else. 2. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬 (FCA lookie loo). 3. 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐞... this is the bat signal for those smarter than I to tell me what in the recruiting curve ball is going on

As much as I love the startup life, perhaps the greatest thing I did for myself (career-wise) was starting off at Morgan Stanley. I learned all of what NOT to do. And vice-versa. This one guy emailed "employees@morganstanley" and all 60,000 employees received the email and all subsequent reply messages. Crashed the firm system. Another time, I ran a SELECT * and crashed the entire Risk database. I've seen poor reporting. Unstable database structures. But I've seen a ton of good to: > Organized team structures > Schedule follow ups and feedback sessions > Improvement and update systems > Brownouts, blackouts, and more The main point? Everything was done at SCALE. As the firm was growing they would keep improving. When building Dragin I always think back to the SCALE of Morgan Stanley when deciding what to do and how to design the system (and team). We will NEVER have the issue of "whoops we didn't think of this early on". Just one reason why I believe starting your career at a well-oiled machine could be very advantageous.

I love reading about the success stories of candidates that go through Specialisterne’s neurodiversity hiring programs. Here is one about one of our candidates named Jake Hamlin who was hired through one of our US neurodiversity hiring initiatives. As a neurodivergent person who has faced so much in employment to get to where I am now, these stories really touch me personally. This is how we move forward with promoting inclusion for all neurodivergent people in employment. How do you think that organizations can facilitate inclusion of neurodivergent candidates and employees? #success #Neurodiversity #DiversityAndInclusion

Investment Banking Job Simulation. 📈 The program's key takeaways: 🚀 -Mergers & Acquisitions (Buy-Side) Target Research -Client Communication: Due Diligence & Auction Process -Crunching Numbers: DCF Valuation My biggest challenge was grasping the nuances of populating a DCF model, including the sensitivity analysis while considering the impact of the target's supply chain interruptions and a potential competitor offer. 🎯 I'm eager to leverage this knowledge to develop my financial modeling skills further and demonstrate my dedication to continuous learning.

Hey network! I've come here to share that I recently completed an online job simulation at JPMorgan Chase. This was an amazing experience where I learnt invaluable skills In the practical work in investment banking, I will translate these skills into my future jobs making me more efficient and therefore more valuable to the company. Here is a list of some of the things that I did in the course: -Identified an ideal M&A target for a client based on an assessment of their strategic and financial criteria. -Constructed a DCF model to calculate the valuation of the M&A target and adjusted the model to account for a competitor bid and supply chain interruption. -Created a 2-pager for the client containing a company profile and summary of the auction process.

Dealing with back pain is quite a struggle. It is not a visible pain but hampers everything from personal to professional life. The modern-day corporate setup in tech and startup hustle culture requires you to be sitting at your desk for 10-12 hours every day. This is NOT what human body is made for. As Karthik Sridharan says, all this does not matter when you are in 20s but it will catch up and age your spine horrendously. Some points to note: 1. Pay attention to your work setup, make it as ergonomic as possible! 2. Take frequent breaks, use Time Out app to force you to take a break 3. Do not play with your health to impress N. R. Narayana Murthy with your 70-hour work week. He won't come to visit you in the hospital 😄 4. Eye health is as important as your back, so relax your eye muscles from time to time when staring at the screen for a long time to fix that damn bug. That bug can wait! 🙂 Cheers!

🚀 I'm excited to share that I just completed JPMorgan Chase's Asset Management Job Simulation on Forage. This experience gave me invaluable insights into the dynamic world of asset management and the crucial role of the client-facing team. In the simulation I:  * Gathered clients' key investment objectives, risk appetite, investment   restrictions, and other relevant information to enable recommending a   suitable investment solution  * Constructed suitable investment portfolios for two individuals based on their   unique risk profiles  * Carried out quantitative fundamental analysis for two stocks and made a   recommendation to clients based on their investment objectives  * Gained exposure on the significance and use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for a clients' investment   portfolios This simulation deepened my understanding of what it takes to effectively manage assets and tailor solutions that align with clients’ needs and goals.
