SURVEY SAYS


So happy together

All of a sudden, Nomura stands alone as the “world’s largest independent investment bank,” a fact that excites its employee even as they cope with a culture that’s in flux.  After the October 2008 integration, and despite a round of layoffs at year’s end, Lehman Brothers “is currently dominant in terms of headcount.”  That means “we are still in the phase of redefining a corporate identity, and we still feel a lot of the difference between old Lehman and old Nomura.”

What course did you study at university and how did you become interested in investment banking?  Were there any preconceived notions of the industry that you had prior to joining the firm?

I read Financial Economics at the University of St Andrews and have always been interested in financial markets. The more that I learned, the more I realized it was for me and in my opinion, no other work environment offers the same dynamic environment and driven atmosphere.
A DAY IN THE LIFE
Name: JULIE WITZSCHE
Title: Associate
Division: Investment Banking
Desk: Corporate and Acquisition Finance
Company: Nomura International


I didn’t follow the typical ‘Summer Internship’ path into investment banking.  I studied economics and finance at university and knew that I wanted to work on Wall Street so when I was offered a job offer at a boutique firm I was thrilled.

Tips from the inside

Choosy about fit

“The current situation in the financial markets makes it more difficult” to get hired at Nomura, which was “extremely selective” to begin with.  The firm is looking for people with “diverse backgrounds, raw smarts, strong communication skills, solid technical base and clear leadership potential,” as evidence by “a top school degree, relevant internships, extracurricular activities demonstrating leadership, team spirit, analytical skills, broad language skill set and experience abroad.”
