Your Customer's Journey in the Social EraTara Hunt
I presented this at the United Benefits Advisors' spring conference in May - to answer the question, "Why would benefits advisors use social media?" I presented it like this:
The customer journey is non-linear and unpredictable. It goes online/offline/and more. You need to be on that path in as many places as possible. Social is a good chunk of that now.
The feeling of belonging in the workplace is as vital to individuals as it is to organizations — and even more important than pay, according to our recent research. Here’s what matters most to employees when it comes to creating a professional culture of belonging.
Millennials are growing up...and have taken over majority status in today's workforce. As a result, if you lead a company, odds are you have a significant block of employees who fall in this category within your organization. You have probably likewise concluded that this group is a breed apart from those you’ve previously dealt with…so when it comes to constructing an effective pay plan, you’re at a loss. Among other things, you may have bought into the conventional wisdom that says millennials are not loyal to a company and therefore traditional forms of pay won’t appeal to them. If these are issues you’re facing, you will not want to miss this presentation. http://www.vladvisors.com/compensation-knowledge-center/webinars/millennial-pay-what-works-and-what-doesnt

Agency of the future - beginning the transformation journey42medien
There is a need for some agencies to re-frame the way they look at their need to evolve. Instead of the default thinking being "we need to implement X technology, hire/fire Y person or merge Z departments" they should start asking, "what is really defining the problem space we are now in and what will be the major factors of change moving forward". Only from this point, can a relevant and grounded future be established.
This is First Round's effort to provide an in-depth snapshot of what founders across the entire tech ecosystem are thinking and doing, what they're excited about and worried about, and how they're seeing the market. We surveyed venture-backed founders from everywhere — less than 25% from the First Round community — and received over 500 responses, volunteering their experience and opinions.

When joining Citi, one of the main
expectations I had was mobility. From what I
heard, Citi was the perfect place for that
thanks to its global network.
I was not mistaken as I indeed had the
opportunity to do a rotation: I started in the
M&A team in Paris and then did two rotations
in London two years later, one in Equity
Capital Markets and one in Leveraged
Finance. Some people from my class also did
rotations in NYC, South Africa…

To be honest it is total non issue - in my first

just decided that this was not working for

weekend activities etc. and when I opened
up I never ever felt uncomfortable or not
included because of being gay. Citi's culture

Hi Tiago! Surely the market conditions are pretty hot now
with also an intense deal flow, but this also means that the
job is really interesting, so surely working hours are in line
with what you may have heard, but the quality of the work is
great in these times thanks to the intense deal flow activity
Candidate response
Thank you for your answer! How is the deal flow in the FIG
team compared to other hot industry teams (e.g. TMT)?
Thanks for your punctual questions. I have always been
working for FIG. I think all the team are pretty busy now
from what I heard from your friends so don't worry, deal
flow is not something you will miss when joining any team in
the bank. Usually, FIG deals are bigger but this is only my
perspective.
