Employers
Sales brokers are employed by investment banks, brokerage firms, hedge funds, commercial banks, private equity groups, and stock exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange. Opportunities are available throughout the United States, but are best in New York City, where many investment banks are located. Major investment banks include Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Evercore, Barclays, and Morgan Stanley.
Starting Out
Many people break into the industry by participating in summer internships at investment banks during their junior year in college or in a two-year training program that begins after they graduate. JPMorgan Chase & Co., Barclays, Goldman Sachs, and other investment banks offer undergraduate programs in their sales and trading departments. Check with your college’s career service office for more information or contact investment banks directly.
