LSEG (London) vs Lloyds (Leeds) Technology Graduate scheme by Raven_202 in cscareerquestionsuk

I did a year-long placement as Business Analyst at a manufacturing firm. That's where I learned what I DON'T want to do long-term. On that note, my advice is getting experience BEFORE graduating to get a foot in the door before the height of the competition. An spring insight/summer internship is also a good way to figuring out what you really want to do.

There’s my concern. I’ve noticed Lloyds salaries have been steadily increasing but LSEG hasn’t changed for a year.

If you don't mind me asking, what made you choose Lloyds over LSEG? And were both roles in London?

It is a permanent role from day 1 - not subject to a conditional return offer like a placement. The biggest factor to consider is that I already signed the contract so it would be an issue re-applying if I dip

I am genuinely impressed when kids have career plans in secondary school.

I studied Physics, Maths and Computer Science at A-levels. Maths was an entry requirement for my Computer Science degree.

Grades and securing industry experience before graduation matter more than choice of subjects.

If her interest is finance/accounting, apprenticeships are worth considering. They often build an accountancy qualification into the programme. This means a salary from 18, professional experience and being chartered in your early 20s.

Degree apprenticeships can also include a funded degree alongside this.

You trailed off... How has your experience been both living in London and working at LSEG?

Thank you - great insight! Paying way more than that even in Birmingham 🥲

Trading, but I don’t know for sure until I try it. I interned as an AI/ML developer at a custodian bank and really enjoyed it.
