Admirals, Invast Global, FxPro and Other Six Companies Are Hiring Now

Recently, the financial and tech industry has witnessed another wave of layoffs with the most prominent being the layoff plan launched by the renowned tech giant, Meta Platforms Inc., on Wednesday. The Facebook parent company reportedly notified managers to prepare to announce job cuts on that day, indicating Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Reality Labs - which houses the firm's virtual reality efforts and Quest hardware - will all be impacted. The move is part of a cost-cutting push that will eventually whittle away 10,000 positions at the company, as announced by Zuckerberg in March. A further round of cuts is set to follow in May.

The job cuts at banks are even more severe. Royal Bank of Canada's investment-banking arm conducted a second round of layoffs in the United States recently, laying off more than a dozen of its U.S. investment-banking team. Barclays Plc would be the next investment banking giant to decide to cut jobs in its ranks, planing to shed about 100 jobs. And Deutsche Bank AG also planned to reduce its executive board to nine members from 10 and to cut some jobs in infrastructure and in its private banking business to save costs.

Given this, job hunting is getting harder indeed. Despite this, Fazzaco recently found that multiple financial firms, brokerages in particular, are strengthening their tech and marketing teams with new hires. Let's look at what jobs they're offering and what are the responsibilities.
