Reply To: Does trade finance sound like a good job?

[George Clive]

Trade finance is not as popular as other parts of banking and corporate finance as a career choice.

So, how can you become a trade finance career?

The first way is to join one of the large commercial or investment banks, which tend to hire more people at the beginning of their careers.

The technology that is used in trade finance has improved and grown a lot, and so has the part of trade finance that is focused on technology. Getting involved in this field can be rewarding in many ways.

You can also join a large management consulting firm like EY or KPMG and career in trade finance there. They help their clients with trade finance advisory solutions, which opens up career opportunities.
