Life in Markets at the biggest Trading Floor in the Nordics
For me working as a graduate at the trading floor in Nordea equals many amazing opportunities. You are exposed to all major financial instruments and incredibly talented and experienced people, who work with these products. In my daily work, I have experienced that people are eager to share their knowledge and know-how to boost your growth. So, if you have an appetite for it, there are no limits to your learning opportunities. The graduate programme has been a great experience, giving me opportunities to network and create ties with like-minded people across the Nordics.

From Graduate to Leader
in two years
The Graduate programme was a good way to jump start my career. For me the most valuable aspect was that I have had a lot of good managers who have invested their time and effort to help me identify my strengths and weaknesses. It has also helped me grow and get as much out of the programme as possible. I have had the chance to work in many different teams and projects in which I have been able to build a strong internal network within Nordea. This has given me the possibility to get career guidance and feedback from a lot of different people and make well informed career choices.
