❓Question: Do you need to go to business school to get into investment banking? 👨💼 Answer: Not really! If you get into investment banking right out of undergrad, you really don’t need an MBA to move up. But if you’re looking to switch to private equity or something similar, then yeah, you might find it helpful to go back for an MBA to keep progressing. ❓Question: Should I ask for referrals at the end of a coffee chat? 👨💼 Answer: For sure! You can just ask straight up. Something like, “Thanks for your time! I know you’re busy, but I appreciate it. By the way, referrals are super important in this process—would you be willing to help me out?” Or you can go for an indirect approach, like, “I really appreciate your time! As applications open, do you have any advice on how I can best position myself?” ----- ⚡ Need guidance from our mentors? ✅ Join the WSO Academy waitlist TODAY! 🚨 We guarantee an offer or your money back.

Diploma in Applied Finance: Level 4 Achievement! I've recently had the privilege of completing a rigorous Finance Boot Camp facilitated by AmplifyME, and accredited by the London Institution of Banking, where I earned a Level 4 Diploma in Applied Finance. The intense program threw me into the deep end of Investment Banking and asset management through a series of high-fidelity simulations. These scenarios, designed to mirror the high-pressure environment of finance, honed my decision-making skills and offered a panoramic view of the industry's demands. Here's a snapshot of what the journey entailed: 1. Constructing and rebalancing intricate portfolios under market pressure. 2. Navigating through geopolitical uncertainties and their impact on market dynamics. 3. Implementing risk management strategies in real-time to safeguard investments. 4. Forecasting and adapting to market movements with a proactive approach to asset allocation. The experience was not just about learning the ropes of finance but also about understanding the essence of time management and strategic foresight in this fast-paced domain. It crystallized my ambition and carved out a clearer professional pathway that I am eager to explore further. To my mentors at AmplifyMe Emre Ekim and University of Exeter Career Zone - a heartfelt thank you for this transformative experience. #FinanceBootCamp #InvestmentBanking #AssetManagement #CareerDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth University of Exeter

🔎 Bridging the Gap: From Classroom to Current Industry Practices Yesterday, my Advanced Corporate Finance class at EDHEC Business School got a much-needed reality check—straight from the equity research department! We had the pleasure of hosting Philippine ADAM an Equity Research Analyst (and one of our our alumni) who doesn’t just talk numbers—she lives them! From dissecting the nuances of valuation to answering students' (and yes, even many of my own!) burning questions, Philippine brought the world of valuation to life in a way that no textbook ever could. Here at EDHEC, we're not just about teaching theories and models; we're about equipping our students with the tools and insights they'll need to navigate the real world. And sometimes, that means hearing straight from those who are in the thick of it—crunching the numbers, making the calls, and living through the volatility. A huge thank you to Philippine for showing us that valuation isn’t just a science—it’s a craft, an art, and sometimes, let’s be honest, a bit of a rollercoaster ride! 🎢 Here’s to more classes that blend academia with the raw, unfiltered realities of the financial world. #StudentsFirst #Valuation #CorporateFinance #EDHEC #LearningInAction #GuestLecture #EquityResearch #ProudlyEdhec
