Second Year Computer Science BSc at University of Warwick | FactSet MESH 2024 Extern | IATL Student Co-Creator | WP student rep | Student Researcher | Consultancy | Data Analysis |

I am honoured to have spent the last two weeks as a Client Solutions MESH Extern with FactSet at their London office. As one of 11 participants from a pool of over 600, I was absolutely thrilled to work with both FactSet and upReach to develop my personal skills and career development during this opportunity. A short look into my time there... 💡 Attended talks on Finance, the stock market, investment, GenAI and much more 💡 Networked with FactSet professionals from a range of business areas and seniority 💡 Learned about and used FactSet's workstation platform to dig deep into the reality of financial services through workshops and senior speaker talks 💡 Presented on client types and FactSet products to a group of externs and professionals 💡 Shadowed a FactSet consultant to understand their workflow further 💡 Collaborated with Hannah Zucker and Happy Hope Factory on CSR work to create gifts for Chapter One UK students 💡 Experienced the friendly and welcoming culture within a corporate fintech environment ...and many more highlights! As a Computer Science student, I went into the experience somewhat nervous as I sought to explore the world of fintech with little finance background. However, between the incredible team at FactSet and my hard work and determination, I feel more confident than ever that this is a career space that I would love to explore. I was challenged every day to expand my horizons and have gained so much knowledge in such a short time. From commercial awareness to business etiquette, I feel confident that I belong in the fintech industry, and the programme has helped immensely with my impostor syndrome and nervousness speaking to senior staff. A special thanks to Louise Kristensen for her mentorship and dedication - something I will remember for a lifetime. Also to Jack Tozer, Ashni Patel and my mentor Michael Adakole for their hard work and encouragement on the programme. And finally to my fellow externs, who I bonded and worked with and was amazed to see them flourish too! #factsetter #fintech #consulting #extern
