About this episode

This is a must-listen for any student interested in working in finance as John Normand, a former 25-year veteran in Global Markets at J.P. Morgan, gives a detailed and honest account of what to consider and how to think about your future.


In this first of three episodes, John explains how he came to work in finance before we then tackle two important questions:


  • What's the perception vs the reality of working in finance?


  • His best and worst experiences working in the industry?


Lots more amazing content coming in the following weeks, including common attributes of successful analysts and associates, work/life balance, and how to set goals and manage expectations.
