You will definitely learn tons of new stuff which are new and hot in investment field. Also you will get connected with a lot of professionals, industry experts, etc. Some executives are at really high level and very nice. That helps expand your personal connections a lot. A very good start for fresh graduate.

Short assignments with the ability to set your own rates and when you want to work. Gives you the ability to grow your contact base.

The assignments are inconsistent. You do not always get called for assignments that you agree to do. Sometimes the client fails to call you and you dont get paid for the prep time.
