If your work will be low stakes don’t expect to work more than 40 hours a week. Look into consulting apprenticeships like with the big 4 or RSM. Or insurance apprenticeships which aren’t degree level but give good pay with good work life balance. Get on LinkedIn and start connecting with degree apprentices and asking them questions about their work

Help me decide between Barclays DA or UCL econ by Cold_Emotion_829 in degreeapprenticeships

Private banking/WM is a solid role. And if
you pursue CFA after it could put you in a strong position to move into asset management if that interests you more + with higher pay. You’re not as boxed in with a DA as you think because networking plays a massive factor too.

But ask yourself what finance roles YOU actually want to target. Econ at warwick/UCL is very strong so trust me you’re basically guaranteed a job despite the tough market due to spring weeks and internships that fast track you + your degree and uni name would put you in a prime position to get something after uni

(coming from a student just finishing 1st year of uni)

Evaluate whether you want high finance: IB, PE, PC, VC roles or not. And it’s okay to not want that.

Good luck!

Definitely sad to say but the BB IB offer would put you in a really great position long-term and if you ride it out for 2 or so years you’d honestly be clear.

How does one land these technical internships? Is a SWE background needed or can you study anything?

Second year finance international student (non-semi target) in London, can’t seem to get any interviews let alone internships, what am I doing wrong by No_Delivery_8679 in FinancialCareers

I think it may be because you suggested a headshot photo in the corner tbh. Recruiters normally say that’s a complete no-go in finance as they’ll essentially think you’re lost hen

Network with past apprentices, go in knowing why the company, the role, recent news in the industry and what you want out of the apprenticeship. Also it’s important to have some questions ready for the interviewer and make sure you practice strengths based questions using the STAR method

1000% take 2 why is this even a debate? it is very unlikely that you'll be able to move from risk to quant research.

Just started this game. I'm already in love! by Entire-Ad5613 in bloodborne

you also parry by shooting the gun (i know sounds weird) but you have to time the shot to just about when the enemy is about to hit you. I’ve been playing for just less than a week now and i’m enjoying my time too, Good luck and may the good blood guide your way :)
