You'll be assigned a dedicated buddy who you can share ideas with and who will give you guidance. There will be plenty of opportunities to establish a solid network across Global Private Banking, which will stand you in good stead for the future. Taking part in our sustainability initiatives will also help you to develop new skills and become a future leader of HSBC, while adding value to the communities in which we work.
