GBE brokers, VT Markets, Centroid Solutions and Other Four Companies Are Hiring Now

The overall labor market in 2023 was gloomy. Job opportunities in London's financial sector reportedly slumped about 40% last year.

Moreover, a host of financial companies are opening the new year with plans for more job cuts, especially firms in the tech sector as they intensify their investments in generative artificial intelligence (AI). The tech titan Google, for example, is considering letting go more employees in 2024. Its video platform YouTube will slash 100 jobs following a thousand jobs being axed in the past week.

In the banking industry, Citi is planning slashing about 20 equity researchers in Asia Pacific as part of its global overhaul. Moreover, as many as 20,000 jobs are expected to be cut over the next two years. Besides, America's Credit Unions is conducting layoffs which will impact 25-30% of the organization's workforce.

Morgan Stanley, however, seems relatively immune to the macro conditions. It has recently announced the appointment of 155 new Managing Directors. 

Besides, Fazzaco found that this week there are multiple financial firms, brokerages and fintech firms in particular, are strengthening their marketing and tech teams with new hires. Let's look at what jobs they're offering and what are the responsibilities.
