For the third consecutive year, CFA Society Switzerland is thrilled to invite you to our in-person career event! Last year, we delved into the impact of AI on finance careers and explored the burgeoning field of Fintech, a rapidly growing path for finance professionals.
This year, we embark on a new journey. While the economy is not in dire straits, it has not been particularly kind either, and higher interest rates have negatively impacted some banking activities, such as M&A transactions. Consequently, financial institutions are rethinking their employment strategies, prompting many of us to transition to new roles. For some, this transition is seamless; for others, it is a significant challenge. As we advance in our careers, the job search approach evolves, and so do the associated challenges. Our first panel discussion will tackle these issues, including the hurdles faced when returning to work after a long break, such as maternity leave.
In the second part of the event, we will dive into another dynamic and rapidly growing career path: crypto. Our expert panelists will discuss the needs of this young and evolving industry, debunk common myths, and examine whether crypto institutions might eventually replace traditional banks. We'll explore how finance professionals can position themselves in this field, the latest career trends in crypto, the essential skills required, and potential development paths. Prepare for a stimulating and insightful debate.
