Overview

In the finance sector, leadership and teamwork are integral, as are skills related to decision-making and risk management. These very same skills and characteristics are honed over the course of a military career, often producing Military Veterans who are driven, organized, adaptable and detail-oriented in nature.

By no coincidence, employers within the financial sector actively recruit and seek to add Veterans to their company ranks, providing those with military backgrounds a savvy career option where initial compensation can be generous, and advancement and renumeration are based on performance rather than seniority — a notable and refreshing quality for any industry you’d like to break into.
