SMBC Reality Series: Authentic Voices on a Career in Banking - Part 5

Our SMBC Reality Series offers an inspiring lineup of virtual events where you’ll have the unique opportunity to engage in open and meaningful conversations with diverse leaders at our firm. These leaders will share their journeys to success at SMBC, offering insights into how they’ve navigated challenges in the workplace and turned them into opportunities for growth and impact.

By joining us at these sessions, you will learn directly from leaders in financial services about how you can bring your true self to work every day. Each panel session will be followed by an open-forum Q&A where participants can address questions to our panelists.

Each session features personal and professional insights from business leaders, analysts, members from one of our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), and our Campus Recruiters. 

At SMBC, we have seven Enterprise Resource Groups (ERGs) that foster a sense of inclusion and belonging. These groups provide opportunities for professional development, networking, and community building. You can learn more about our ERGs here.
