Program Reviews

I interned with a finance firm in London, which was arranged by Capital Placement. I had a great time as an intern and the experience I got was invaluable.

The team at Capital Placement are very helpful and helped me through every stage of the process, they booked everything for me, including the biometric appointment at the British Embassy.

I highly recommend an internship programme with Capital Placement for anyone looking to start a career in finance.

I applied for Capital Placement’s London program this summer for a marketing and PR internship after my original internship plans in the US fell through at the last minute. After explaining my situation to them, the staff at Capital Placement was extremely helpful and they offered to fast track my application and within a few days of me applying, they got back to me with a list firms and the roles.

Program and price

I found the CP program included more things than other internship program providers. I found it to offer good value for money, especially with the visa sponsorship and application fee included in the program price, this alone can cost over $1000. They have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into the programme because the program includes things like bedding, cutlery and cookware (all brand new).

Accommodation

The accommodation offered by CP is pretty central with a local “high street” nearby with plenty of bars and café’s and the tube station being only 2-minute walks away. The flat I stayed in had its own bathroom in the room and 3 other bedrooms. There was a shared kitchen/ living space, which was great to catch up with other interns in the evenings.

The accommodation also has a well-equipped gym, library (great when you need to work from home) and games room onsite so there was always something to do if the weather is not great!

Company

I worked with a great team at a funded startup in Shoreditch. Even before I started, I knew I was going to have a great time because the founder arranged a conference call where they took the time to understand what I was trying to get out of the internship and where my skills can be used best. From the amount of effort they put in even before I arrived, I knew that the company genuinely cared about my experience there. My main duty was to help the marketing team plan and execute marketing campaigns and customer acquisition.

Overall

I had a great experience with Capital Placement and I would thoroughly recommend it to others who are looking to intern in Europe.

I met Mr Niranjan Thampu, one of the co-founders of Capital Placement at a networking event in London, he explained what Capital Placement did briefly. I was very pleased to meet him as I have obtained my master's in London last year and after three months of editing CVs and applying to at least a hundred different internships, I was no closer to an internship than I was at the start of the summer.

The team at Capital Placement were very professional and patient with me and did not hesitate to go the extra mile. They explained all the different possibilities for my career to development in London and even gave their personal mobile numbers so that they could be reached at any time. After a brief trip back to Taiwan, when they sorted out all the paperwork for me, I have now started my role as an Analyst in an Asset Management company in London a week ago. I can't help but praise how helpful and resourceful the whole Capital Placement team have been throughout the process. With their knowledge and experience, all the paperwork was completed swiftly and I had my visa approved the first time around. The team personally checked in with the company I am interning at and myself throughout the process and kept us updated regularly.

To conclude, I am very impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of the team and how they have handled my application from the beginning until the end. I really appreciate the opportunity that Capital Placement has presented to me. For those who want to gain work experience in competitive industries like Finance, Capital Placement would definitely be your ticket to entry.

I did an 8 week internship in Mumbai. I went with Capital Placement to find my internship, and although they seemed very new and I hadn't really heard much about them before, I'm glad I took the chance!
I worked in an investment bank for 8 weeks, located in the Bandra Kurla Complex. this is kind of like canary wharf but in Mumbai, all the big companies are located there. The first thing I want to tell students about is the experience I gained was absolutely fantastic. My biggest concern before hand was about the experience, i was afraid i wouldn't learn anything relevant or be asked to do the really menial tasks, and I'm sure this is the concern of many interns before they actually choose to do an internship. I was so happy with the experience as I was actually asked to work on active projects with senior members of the organisation and make reports for the VP of the firm. I was asked to also find opportunities for us to exploit and generate new business.

We were also provided with socials every 2 weeks, some involved dinner, drinks, and they even took us away for the weekend to the beach! The experience was absolutely amazing! I got to see so much of india as well as working there. I used to fly out on a friday night and spend the weekend in a different city, well i did that a few times! i really got a chance to be involved with india and understand how diverse and multi-cultural it really is!

Overall the actual work experience was amazing and i was made to feel part of the team as well as getting a feel of being part of the company! I would recommend Capital Placement to anyone who is serious about getting a real top quality internship!

I did a 4 week internship in India with Capital Placement. The experience was amazing, the place I stayed was amazing - it has everything I needed, swimming pool, badminton, pool, gym, indoor bar, library, cafeteria etc... I worked in an Investment bank which specialised in M & A, its a great firm which specialised in M&A- my actual work was started from the day one and one of the Vice President asked me to conduct some research about particular area also prepare a report to make financial decision also I was asked to do the presentation in front of an internal board, during my research the VP was really helpful and they have an open door policy which truly helped me a lot! Apartfrom my internship Capital Placement provided a weekend break to a beach in Kovalam, they booked an overnight train from Bangalore to Kerala (my best train journey ever) and we stayed in a 5 star hotel!!! its an amazing beach... I'd love to go there again. I couldn't think of negative experience during the internship because the staff was really helpful and also Capital Placement not just provided me an internship also their packages designed in a way to explore the culture and places, which is I think great!! I learned so much about India culture, it was amazing to see so many different cultures within India!!
