I’ve been working for one of the big Wall Street investment banks for the last 17 years (but I don’t actually work on Wall Street). Mostly in institutional operations and more recently risk management (Firm wide - WM/ISG/IM)

Happy to share my experiences and any guidance I may have.

ETA: think I’ve answered as much as I can today. DMs welcome - but no I can’t get you a job. Just point you in the direction of the career page on the website of your target firm.

Edit #2 - since there seems to be a bit of confusion. I am not in a client facing role, nor am I a trader or working the investment deals. I started out in operations - literally processing the payments to settle trades and their cash flows. I’ve moved around a bit and now I’m in Operational Risk. This is often referred to as second line - it is an oversight role where we set policy and ensure appropriate oversight. Not everyone working for a Wall Street firm is pulling in 5 or 6 digit bonus’s or living the high life. But I enjoy what I do and I wouldn’t want to work for another company based on the people I get to work with on a daily basis.
