How does a day in the life of a member of FXStreet U.S team look?

After drinking my daily dose of caffeine, I check my email 30 minutes before I start my workday because I like to be up to date in recent events just before I’m in charge of the US Session at FXStreet. When I’m working, I check that all the site content is updated and that there isn’t any technical mistake to guarantee a pleasurable experience to our users.

Usually, the American Session is calm, except when Janet Yellen speaks or when unexpected macroeconomic events take place, but the best of all is that I have always by my side a great team of News Editors aware of any event, which makes my daily routine a unique experience.  Continue reading Meet Felipe, FXStreet’s U.S Session Manager

How does a day in the life of the Administration Assistant at FXStreet look?

I arrive at the office at eight o‘clock. I take off the answering machine and I open my email’s inbox. Then, I do all the tasks derived from it. After that, and depending of the day, I prepare some invoices, update some documents, claim for payments…

As the main responsible at reception, do you prefer to greet visitors or to answer telephone calls?

There’s not a high volume of visitors or phone calls. My contact with them is very brief because I’m just an intermediate between them and someone at the office. Anyway, I think the personal contact is always the best option to assist clients.  Continue reading Meet Olga, FXStreet’s Administration Assistant
