The Associate will have the opportunity to immediately and meaningfully contribute to live transactions. A significant amount of effort, diligence and initiative is required to properly execute assignments. The complexity of clients’ financial requirements coupled with the intense competitiveness of the investment banking industry necessitates a full commitment to the task at hand.
