BAM CEO Seán W. McCarthy shares his reflections on a career in municipal finance and what BAM is seeking when recruiting: “Municipal finance is really unique in that you are going to be in a position where you can see the fruits of your labor: You’re involved in putting together transactions for major infrastructure — hospitals, roads, schools, and town halls — and you actually get to drive by them and see them. It’s a rewarding experience.”

“Who’s the ideal person to come work at BAM? Well it’s a lot of different people. There is no one type of person we’re looking for. we’re really looking for very smart, motivated people, regardless of what your academic background way or where you came from. My belief is that different points of view make our process better.”
