Financial Analyst in London

I did the 8 week London internship programme after my first year of university and I would not hesitate to recommend this programme to anyone thinking of interning in London.

This programme was my first internship and it helped me identify my weaknesses, strengths and provided me with a direction for my career, which I really appreciate as I still have time to work on them in the next few years. I learnt a lot from my dedicated boss and being a Financial Analyst, I was given meaningful work and was able to apply my knowledge learnt from my degree into practice. I was given the opportunity to work and communicate with different people from all parts of the world and I was even given the opportunity to make investment decks for the firm!!

In terms of Capital Placement or CP as the staff refer to it, their help started before I departed for London, they gave me suggestions and advice on how I can best start preparing for working and living in London, which came in very handy. During my two months in the UK, they were very helpful and Niran went above beyond and helped me fit in quickly, he spent a whole day showing me around the city and towards the end of the programme he even helped me apply for my Schengen visa. For future participants who are not used to working/ travelling abroad independently, you can be assured CP will take good care of you.

Also, the farewell dinner was unforgettable and I was very happy to have this experience.
