- As a BD you don't earn commission (Base is £20K). Can be a lot of hard work for very little reward.
- Need to bill 55k in rev (will probably take a year) to be promoted and start to earn commission
- FX is a very saturated market and can be difficult to pitch
- Only 20 days holiday a year
- Office in a dull basement
- During summer the market goes quiet and clients go on holiday
- Time after 4:00pm is often dead
- Everything is based on KPIs (call times, prospects, apps back, trades). This means people falsify their records in order to meet them
- Big business can take months to secure; time which you may not be given
