A huge bite has been taken out of the Big Apple, with New York’s position as financial capital of the USA challenged by Texas and Arizona.
In fact, financial services jobs in the Sun Belt States are now growing faster than on Wall Street as big firms realise they don’t need to stack their staff in skyscrapers in Manhattan but can head instead to the vast expanses of the South West.
Here the skies are endless, the real estate’s cheaper and it never rains.
So given the choice between the restaurants and galleries of New York or the Yeeha fun of the deserts, which would you choose?
Or perhaps you fancy working somewhere entirely different yet much closer to home – such as Selkirk, North Lanarkshire or Aberdeen?
On s1jobs you can find financial services roles in these locations and all across Scotland.
None of them promises a city that never sleeps or endless sunshine but clever connectivity means it’s possible to forge lucrative careers here in pleasant and easy-going environments.
So, if you don’t fancy taking the obvious big city route, here are a few suggestions from vacancies on s1jobs to get you on your way.
