There are a number of reasons both candidates and companies alike would enjoy this work arrangement! One of the main reasons is for both parties to see if their work arrangement is going to be a match before fully committing to 40+ hours per week with one another. It may be ‘try before you buy’ with a company, but for today’s highly sought-after job seeker who knows fully well how valuable their skills are, our jobs are ‘try before you commit.’

The expectation is to learn what it is that you don’t know, then learn it, and apply it to your model scenarios. You will do your own research, while working alongside our financial industry expertise, and apply the knowledge you attain to the models.
