If so have you heard anything?
I had my first round motivational and compentacny based at 1th of June

I applied for UK office

'm 19 and considering a career as a financial consultant/advisor. I keep hearing really mixed takes, so I wanted to hear it straight from people actually in the field.

If you work in finance — advising, planning, wealth management, or anything adjacent — I'd love to know:

• Do you like your job? Why or why not?
• What's the part nobody warns you about going in?
• If you could go back, would you pick this career again, or do something else?

Trying to get an honest picture before I commit, so the good, the bad, and the ugly are all welcome. Appreciate anyone willing to share.

I’m considering moving jobs and I’m currently in discussions with BNP Paribas UK. Does anyone know what their maternity pay policy is and most importantly what is the eligibility criteria (i.e. do you have to be employed at least 6 months before the qualifying week?)
