In this episode, I had a great conversation with Alison Gilbert and you wouldn't believe some of the valuable advice she has for students looking for jobs in Equity Research.

Alison is a Managing Director at BMO Capital Markets and is in charge of hiring and managing the Canadian/US/UK team of equity research associates.

She does not hold back, giving an candid account of what she looks for in a candidate, what's going to help you get over the finish line and what can nuke your chances of getting the job.

Her insights are amazing and she shares a perspective that most people won't have heard before.

If you have any desire to work in equity research this episode is a must watch.
