Hello, We thank you for your valuable feedback and for the time spent in our company. Indeed, our shifts are not short and one of the main reasons for that is to provide a wide window of time where one will have enough room to get to know the financial markets and identify opportunities. We believe that it requires much time and hard work to be in sync with different global markets, and based on our experience we observed that it is very unlikely that a Market Analyst will be able to achieve - both for himself or herself and the company - when spending only a few hours daily analyzing the markets. We are glad that you had the opportunity to gain extensive knowledge within our organization and enjoyed the challenge of the job and our generous rewards. 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.
