Interested in working in financial services, but not sure if working at a big bank is for you? Or, do you just want to learn more about career options within the industry?

We are holding a joint panel and networking session for a number of financial firms outside of the bulge bracket banks. In previous years, representatives included boutique banks, hedge funds, commercial banks, and firms specializing in risk management, asset management, and private equity.

This is a great opportunity for students who are just starting to explore career opportunities in finance or for those that have had prior internship experience in the industry. It is never too early to start networking and getting to learn more about the variety of career paths available in finance.
