How is this role different from other roles typically hiring on campus?
The key aspects that make this role an interesting career choice are:
• Client-facing role: This is a client-facing role (right from when you join) which involves directly interacting with CXOs and key
management team members of small and large Corporates, Private Equity and Venture Capital funds. The exposure from
this role would help significantly in your personal and professional development as it is not a back-office support role.
• Analytical work: The nature of work is highly analytical in nature to analyze financial data, hold discussions with key
stakeholders and arrive at conclusions that would help clients make informed investment decisions.
• Continuous learning, as every project is different! Every project you work on would vary in terms of the industry, their
geographic presence, the investment objectives, management style, etc. Experiences from discussions with key personnel
would also therefore significantly vary from project to project, all of which would help keep things interesting at work and
lead to holistic growth over a period.
