“Friendly, relaxed and supportive are words not often used to describe the finance sector”
“For my degree course I had to perform an investment analysis of a company, and chose IG. Little did I know I would find myself working there!
“I was offered a job as a Trainee Dealer and then moved into a co-ordinating role between the business and IT. However, I preferred working in a client-facing position and sought a move into Institutional sales, managing long-term partnerships with other financial organisations.
“IG is a great company to work for. Friendly, relaxed and supportive are words not often used to describe the finance sector, but IG is all three. It’s also an innovative growth business – the best in its field.”
