Hello, We thank you for your valuable feedback and for the time spent in our company. Working as a Market Analyst is one of the most demanding, yet rewarding professions as there is a lot at stake. Hence, good stress management and the ability to deal with pressure is a valued quality in financial markets. To assist our teams, we put a lot of focus and resources training our people about stress management, how to make it constructive, and how to shine in a fast-paced environment. We also organise healthy activities such as all types of sports events and yoga sessions. While recruiting, we are transparent about the work conditions, including the job security aspect, considering the nature of our activity. Our recruitment process has improved over the years, is well thought through and aims to invite candidates who are motivated by this unparalleled opportunity. Furthermore, our training process is built to provide newcomers the best chances to succeed. In spite of all our efforts, it sometimes happens that expectations are not met - be it for us or for our people - and in these cases, unfortunately, the work relationship comes to an end. We are glad that you had the opportunity to enjoy our company culture and were highly motivated and excited by our generous rewards. Skipping lunch though, is not recommended ;) Thanking you again, we wish you the best of luck for your future endeavours, The Futures First Team

"Great to hear that you value the stability and clear processes — those are important for ensuring consistency and smooth operations across teams. That's absolutely fair that process-driven roles can feel repetitive at times. As teams gain experience, there are often opportunities to take on additional responsibilities and bring more variety into the work."

Thank you for sharing your perspective—and for your long-standing contribution to the firm. It’s great to hear that the clarity and strategic direction of our leadership continue to stand out. That’s something we consistently strive to deliver as we scale and evolve in a fast-moving industry. On compensation, we’d like to clarify that our structure is aligned with industry standards. The commission-based component is designed to directly link performance with reward, making the model both fair and motivating. For those who consistently deliver, it provides a strong opportunity to be compensated in line with their impact. We appreciate your honest feedback—it helps guide how we grow stronger together.
