Admirals, Tickmill, OKX and Other Four Companies Are Hiring Now

Over the past week, another bunch of companies have unveiled their cost cutting or business shut-down consecutively amid this sluggish economy. These firms are mainly in finance, crypto, investment banking, and tech segments.

Earlier this week, crypto hedge fund Galois Capital​ had shut down its flagship fund as it "lost almost half of assets to the FTX disaster". OvalX​, a London-based spreading-betting and CFD provider also announced its official shut down on Wednesday.

In terms of cost reduction, Polygon Labs, the Ethereum scaling platform, has cut around 100 jobs or 20% of its workforce. Meanwhile, FTX-backed African cross-border payments app Chipper Cash announced its second round of layoffs, just three months after letting go of 12.5% of its workforce.

Furthermore, Wells Fargo & Company laid off hundreds of mortgage bankers this week as part of its recent strategic shift. HSBC had cut its annual bonus pool by 4% in 2022 as a global slump in dealmaking led it to trim awards for its bankers.

Despite layoffs and shut-down, Fazzaco recently found that multiple financial firms, brokerages in particular, are strengthening their business development and tech teams with new hires. Let's look at what jobs they're offering and what are the requirements.
