Should I expect to get a job in London? (please give me some advice)
Hi everyone. I have been accepted to LSE MSc Finance but am skeptical about opportunities after graduation. I have graduated from a non-target undergrad, have a GMAT score of 760 and have founded a Finance Club in my university. I have done an internship at the Central Bank of Armenia (I have also done a few internships that are not related to Finance), and have worked at a small local Consulting company. In parallel, I have founded my own business which is running smoothly right now. I am really concerned about my chances to get employment after graduation since I am an Armenian citizen and will need sponsorship for visa (in addition to my limited finance experience). Do you think there is a chance to get a job in IB, AM or any other field with my credentials?
Hey Rthur, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot...do any of these help:
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Congrats on the offer. There definitely is a chance but make sure to send out applications as early as possible (end of August/early September). However, I have seen several (very good) students from programmes like yours that did not find a top job in finance in the UK, so do not take it for granted. It is a hustle for everyone but you can maximise your chances by recruiting efficiently, quickly and thoroughly. Several of these people missed out on good spots because they applied too late
Is that the timeline for SA positions in London?
Your profile seems competitive for a job in finance in London. Don’t worry about nationality
I'd say apply for Summer/Autumn/Spring Internships depending on the firm. These will be great to convert them into FT offers. Your profile looks good!
I agree with the others. Your profile looks ok. If a company sponsors a visa for non-EU students, the country you come from doesn't matter as much. And you're doing a top Finance masters in the UK.
One thing I would do before you even get to London, is find Armenians (preferably from your university or high-school), that are working in any of the roles you're interested in. Reach out to them on LinkedIn and ask them about their path and to give you advice on getting a role after the MSc. Generally people you have something in common with tend to be quite responsive and helpful.
