I Scraped 1 Million Jobs Directly from Financial Institution Websites

The finance industry has always been competitive, not just for clients, but for talent. To understand what roles are truly being hired right now, I scraped and analyzed over 1 million job listings directly from the career pages of top financial institutions.

No job boards. No aggregators. Just raw, unfiltered openings from the source.

💼 What We Analyzed: The Full Financial Ecosystem

This wasn’t limited to investment banks. We built scrapers targeting every major vertical in finance, including:

  • Investment Banking – Bulge brackets, elite boutiques, and regional M&A firms
  • Asset Management – From BlackRock to boutique hedge funds
  • Private Equity & Venture Capital – Portfolio-level roles and operating partners
  • Retail & Commercial Banking – Major global banks and neobanks
  • Insurance & Reinsurance – Roles in underwriting, actuarial, and claims analytics
  • Fintech – Payments, embedded finance, neobrokers, and digital lending platforms
  • Regulatory & Infrastructure – Central banks, clearinghouses, and rating agencies
  • Real Estate & Credit Funds – Loan servicing, asset management, and acquisitions

We didn’t just want to know who’s hiring, but what roles, at what frequency, and with what skill requirements.

🛠️ How I Scraped 1 Million Finance Jobs (And How You Can Too)

This wasn’t built with an out-of-the-box crawler. I spent months engineering a custom scraper that could:

  • Navigate over 70,000 company career sites
  • Bypass bot detection, CAPTCHAs, and redirect logic
  • Parse job titles, descriptions, locations, and requirements
  • Auto-classify each listing into its correct finance vertical using NLP
  • Refresh in real-time, so you’re not looking at stale data

Each industry in the chart above was mapped to job data pulled directly from employer portals, not job boards, not aggregators.
