“Banking is boring” HSBC offers careers across many different subject areas, not at all limited to being behind a counter or typing numbers into an excel spreadsheet. Marketing, Human Resources and Project Management are just as important as Investment Banking and Debt Management. Furthermore, being an international company, you could find yourself working in one of 81 countries around the world. Myth Busting!

“It’s a job for men in suits” The face of banking is changing, and while historically banking may have been a more male-dominated sphere, today’s landscape offers equal opportunities for men and women to progress into exciting and high profile careers. Myth Busting!

“For someone like me, it’s unachievable” Many young people opt-out of a career in banking without even trying, put off by the idea that it’s for a certain type of person from a certain type of socio-economic background. HSBC are passionate about encouraging applications from all manner of young people, and are actively searching for candidates who stand out from the crowd. Myth Busting!

Besides banking, what else is important to HSBC?
