Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend HSBC to a friend?

Yes

What advice would you give to others applying to HSBC

Be yourself. Having experience of finance is great, but it’s about your personality. Your drive to affect change. Also, don’t be put off if you come from a non-finance background/degree - I do Geography and to be perfectly honest, I wouldn’t be able to tell you who does a finance/economics degree and who doesn’t!
