BGC - Fixed Income Broker

Fixed income broker

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

My team and I got along very well. The rest of the Brokers were also very friendly. Unlike other places iv worked at, we would very often all grab a drink after work.

Cons

Was hard to get anything done, especially with getting new customers on-boarded due to the unique way in which things were signed off. The chances of any career promotions are almost impossible in any broking firm. If you are happy broking for your whole career then by all means give it a go.

Pros

Very nice offices, and long lunch hours! More senior members of staff happy to chat with you about trading and the lifestyle of brokers

Cons

Very much a boys' club. Didn't get the feeling that I was taken seriously even though I definitely had more theoretical knowledge than a lot of other young guys on the desk. Not really a great place for women to work.
