    Is University Reputation Everything?

    SJM96
    I am currently a student at the University of Kent and have just finished my first year in International Business with Econometrics and received a first. I was recommended by my lecturer to look into a potential career in the investment banking industry but from my research it looks like my chances may have already been dashed just because of the university I have gone to.

    I was wondering if anyone firstly had some advice on how to apply to the internships and make yourself comparable with the 'target' university candidates?

    How I Had 20 Internships Until Last Year of Uni

    jackson read
    I have now been at over 20 institutions for work experience within the Finance industry.

    People always ask me “does your dad know someone in the industry?”.

    My dad is a barber and my mum doesn’t work due to illness...so no.

    I set out at 14 years of age to get as much work experience as possible to prove to future employers that I had what it takes and that I had a REAL interest in getting the job I had always dreamed of ever since watching Wall St.
    I never wanted to be Gordon Gecko, but I loved the look of the buzzing trading floors that it featured.

    Sustainable Investing

    Sustainable Investing
    It took me three years and around 8,500 miles to discover that sustainable investing is not philanthropy but a legitimate investment strategy that has usually met, and often outperformed, performance of comparable traditional strategies. In an environment of heavier regulatory scrutiny and higher capital adequacy ratios, current staffing levels are being challenged by automation and even shrinking profitability. Every edge is important for breaking into the industry – but who would believe loving the planet and asking a company’s value to society and its other stakeholders would be one?

    The Future of Trading

    The Future of Trading
    In this post I will discuss with you the current and future state of all main global markets roles.

    Trading
    The headcount for trading roles has declined steeply since the financial crisis. Firstly, pretty much all prop-trading desks closed down, so that banks are compliant with the Volcker Rule. Secondly, market-making desks have reduced headcount due to the decrease in balance sheet dedicated to trading. And thirdly, the increase in electronic trading has also contributed to a decrease in trading roles across the asset classes.

    Top Schools Matter For Finance; Not For Engineering

    TheMoralEconomist
    That’s the conclusion of a recent report by The Wall Street Journal. As the authors describe, “Specifically, for business and other liberal-arts majors, the prestige of the school has a major impact on future earnings expectations. But for fields like science, technology, engineering and math, it largely doesn’t matter whether students go to a prestigious, expensive school or a low-priced one—expected earnings turn out the same.”

    Keep in mind this data is for the United States, but you can bet the conclusions still hold here in London and the rest of Europe. The authors interviewed over 7000 graduates 10 years after they...

    Planning Your Cold Outreach

    Planning Your Cold Outreach
    Reaching out by email to someone you do not know to ask for a job opportunity (say, at your dream company) might appear to be terrifying. Many people I know also think that cold email is too aggressive, and even worse, spammy.

    Well, it doesn't have to be that way.

    In fact, a strong, well-crafted cold email can be very helpful. It's arguably the most effective, perhaps the cheapest way to meet extraordinary people, receive advice, get jobs, and build your network.

    Include trading experience on CV?
    I've started trading with ig, but for the moment with practice money. Do you think it's worth a mention on my CV if I'm successful?

    Target vs Non-Target School

    Target vs Non-Target School
    Hi,

    I've already secured and got my place at the University of my choice (Newcastle) to study Computer Science.

    However, one option I really want open, is getting into high finance (investment banking etc) and for this I would most likely need to go to a Target. I'm not entirely sure about this, and it seems I would need to go to a lot of effort to get there, but it all seems worthwhile.

    Immature Group Members in School Project

    BNC
    Hi guys,

    New member here. I am just wondering like how do you deal effectively with immature, and disrespectful team members when working towards a project? This guy in particular is full of himself (Bocconi power) and is incapable of answering and summing up what he thinks. He rambles, bullshits his way through questions and when challenged he doesn't take opposition of his argument.

    Words To Never Use On a CV

    AlexLielacher
    As I have discussed in my recent post titled How Bankers Really Look At Your CV most hiring managers will only give your CV about 20 seconds when they are scrolling through the initial batch of CVs. Having said that, before your CV even arrives on the hiring manager’s desk it is first screened by a graduate recruiter in the human resource department.
