Introduction to WSO
Hi, I am 1st year student in University of Exeter pursuing career in Investment Banking/Private Equity. I have been actively trying to get an internship recently, but, unfortunatelly, non of my applications were successful. That fact in particular brought me to a decision to apply for WSO Academy, in order to boost my employability and learn from experts. Additionally, I am doing a degree with Industrial Experience, which means that from the summer 2025 I will need to apply for a placement year to different companies, and my goal is to land a placement in high finance company in London. I hope to get help with landing this placement year, my future internships and also growing my network.
Take your real name off WSO (does Gen Z seriously have no data hygiene?).
Read this site in depth if you want a chance at breaking in from Exeter tbh, not going to be easy! Ask actual specific questions if you want help, no one's going to hold your hand.
Start by anonymising your self buddy.
Change your WSO username, edit ur real name out this post, etc
Had a look at ur linkedin, where you reveal even more personal information, and it seems a bit wordy/AI generated - might be worth trimming it down a little?
Regarding placements, maybe check out some Exeter alumni that managed to get high finance roles - reach out and ask for advice/guidance.
NB: Not many firms offer 12 month placements (off top of my head Citi, UBS, MS, Lazard, and some other boutiques), so it might be worth applying for SA/OC roles too.
