Associate Review

Good. Good balance between Civil Service WLB with Financial Sector workload and accountability.

I supervise a portfolio of IB's 1 on 1. I am enjoying reviewing companies regulatory submissions and assessing for risk.

I feel like there is a lot of responsibility in this role compared to my friends at other organisations.

I think it is good. Start at 36k with a 2.5k starting bonus. If you pass your probation after 6 months you get a pay rise to 40k PA. This would mean that the starting salary is 40k for the first year. On top of this we get various perks like free private healthcare, 2k to spend on benefits and a 8% non-contribution pension.

I chose this role to help with my future career prospects. I am not sure any other graduate role could better place me.

I feel well supported. I have a line manager and also a senior associate I work with closely. I also have 2 graduate buddies from around the organisation. I also have a directorate buddy from an adjacent team.

I am yet to work past 5. I have logged on before 9 but out of my own choice, not external pressure.

Culture is strong, relaxed but accountable.

I'd say mostly good. Good volunteering leave and network selection.

Yes

Good pay, good benefits, nice office, good opportunity for career progression, good exit opportunities, broad and thorough introduction to the financial services industry.

I'd say the firm has reflected what I assumed it was. I was unsure on what the roles were before joining.
