What are the top things you enjoy most about working in this business and on the NYM team?

The amount you learn in a compressed time period is matched by none. Our team takes knowing market nuances to an entirely different level. It separates our breadth of value from our competition. We make it a point to network with industry experts to stay ahead and deliver the best value to our clients. The funny part is I think most of the guys just love to learn!
