Folks who know the FS market - I’ve recently landed at a regional bank and I absolutely hate it here. Is there any way to pivot out of the regional banks and into the investment banks or trading firms? I’ve gotten in touch with recruiters but no hits. I’m from a tech background and I work in the CIB space for context.

Are you a developer/BA? Have you got your ACA/CFA? Would have thought you’d be able to move towards a better bank in a similar role with a bit of experience fairly easily. Agree another route might be the fintechs like Bloomberg, difficult to say without knowing exactly what your experience is.

I’m SWE. I would have thought I could move easily too. Someone told me that the regional banks aren’t looked on very favourably for skillsets though.

When you say regional bank, what do you mean? Are there other parts of said bank that you could move to?

Regional player, think NatWest, Lloyds, etc.

Ahhh okay. Depending on how long recent is, I’d say just give it a bit of time. You may also want to consider IB/trading adjacent opportunities given your tech background like PE/Fintechs
