Cons
They lie to you. They sell you the world in telling you that you learn loads etc. essentially you're a glorified cold caller. You call people up to see if they want to act as a specialist to offer advice. You're better off becoming a recruitment consultant. You learn more about financial markets and roles that way. Here you get a very top level view. The fact they don't require you to be a finance graduate to connect investors and experts, tells you what level of education they require. RA essentially work in a expert network. The company formed in 2007 but it's still got a start up feel. They systems are poor. Long hours. It appears as a great move for a new graduate. But if you're a finance graduate, it's not. You end up specialising in a research job that will not get you that far if you want to work in finance. It offers great money for a 21 year old but think longer term. You're better off taking a smaller salary now in the right role as it'll get you far more money in the future.
