Trainee Wealth Advisor - Malta Grad Scheme

Pros

The 6 week graduate course is incredibly intense, yet highly rewarding. Probably one of the best ways to prepare someone for the world of finance. The course will no doubt push you outside your comfort zone and by doing so, ensures strong development. The training and management provided is excellent and gives you a very good base for a career in financial advisory/wealth management. Finally having direct contact with some hugely influential figures in the organisation is a massive benefit.

Cons

It's not for everyone, however if it is your thing, you'll thoroughly enjoy the challenges, hard work, long nights and rapidly increase your personal development in many ways.

Pros

The future prospects are phenomenal, we see every Friday just how much money people make which is inspiring. The conventions and benefits are exciting prospects, for young grads especially. The support throughout the learning process is very good but you are well and truly thrown in the deep end and still has some room for improvement. The grad accommodation is adequate and Malta is very nice. A company that highly rewards hard work.

Cons

Definitely NOT for everyone! Certainly not for the faint-hearted. For 6 weeks, although we have been assured that it is very different in the field, there is no work life balance for graduates. Expect 3-6 hours sleep and 12 hour days minimum. Expect to be pushed well beyond the limits of what you thought was reasonable. The general culture of some employees is decidedly lacking in empathy which can make you feel uncomfortable, but provided you stick to your own personal views I don't see why this would be a problem. Very heavily male although this is less of a choice within the and more that the job attracts a certain type of person.
