What made you apply to BwB?

 

Powered by former investment bankers, BwB is uniquely positioned to facilitate communication between the public and private sector, making it the perfect fit for someone like me who wants to learn how to use their knowledge of financial markets and structuring expertise to tie profits with purpose.

 

What was your experience through the BwB recruitment process?

 

The amount and quality of time a firm spends on a person during an interview is reflective of the investment the firm is going to make in them – at BwB, I had members across all designations talk through the philosophy and vision. I was extremely impressed by the drive, motivation, and passion each interviewer had for the subjects, and the ease with which they lay out structured approaches for complicated questions around sustainable development. While I was tested on not only my technical skills, but also the ability to navigate tricky situations, the entire process was a massive learning curve in gauging my own abilities.

 

How would you describe your first month at the firm?

 

The prospect of creating strategies and conducting extensive research across the spectrum – from sovereign debt to private financing in nature and biodiversity, was quite daunting initially, but the unparalleled mentorship programme and the analytical team support helped massively in maintaining and galvanizing pace and learning.

 

What do you love about working at BwB?

 

The close mentorship programme and the ability to define myself at the firm are two things that I absolutely love about working at BwB!

As an analyst, I co-lead and design strategies for projects with senior members who have decades worth of experience in the industry, which when combined with the exposure to clients and partners on a daily basis, has helped me grow exponentially, both professionally and personally. Along with this, because of the philosophy of the firm, all analysts are encouraged and mentored to hone their skills in their area of interest, and eventually lead projects in the associated space – ultimately growing in their own direction, at their own pace.

Since we operate in both environmental and social domains, I see this opportunity as a way to materially contribute to causes I’m passionate about, with the support of a fantastic team!
