Currently working in S&T in a role that is highly analytical, but I think my strength really lies in my creativity- any suggestions for something more creative but still in finance?

Try a pivot to a more sales-focused role in S&T or prime brokerage. You would take advantage of technical/product knowledge but there’s a lot of qualitative aspects to those roles as well

I also think a PB role would be valuable. There’s a lot of growth going on in that industry so it’s more dynamic and there’s a higher need for adaptability and creativity.

Id say go into equity investment banking. It takes a lot of creativity to always stretch the comp list for a potential client to only the most over valued companies in the Market.

I’m in a similar role - at first I was thinking of moving, but it’s actually to your advantage. Everyone on the team thinks the same way, I’ve been able to shine by finding more creative solutions for what we do... chances are if it’s super analytical, they lack EQ. That might be one of your strengths as well.

So I’m in the exact opposite scenario and hate sales, fee like I’m more analytical and want to do something different. Anybody have any advice for me?

I was actually thinking about going to sales but after everyone actually in the role expressing their frustration, will reconsider

Buy Side.

More exotic products

Replied in exit op bowl ..but tldr was .. either structuring desk for more intellectual creativity

Or a newsletter writer on the side a la Brent Donnelley for your linguistic creativity

Hello,
London is a world class metropolitan city and so is the cost of livi.
But then why don't MAANG or other big techs pay as high for software managers and other leadership roles as they do in the USA, particularly California, Washington, New York. In fact for the same role, $ salaries are at least 3X higher to their counterparts roles here in London.
Definitely, London isn't 3X cheaper them.
Is it that companies don't want that high here or there isn't enough competition or something else?
