Speaker Needed - Bringing Finance Exposure to Students
I (16, from the UK) run the finance society at my grammar school and also help lead a wider student initiative focused on expanding access to finance education and industry exposure for state school students across the country. Sessions collectively reach 100+ students.
There’s a lot of genuine interest from students, many without existing family connections to the industry so opportunities like this can make a real difference.
We’re looking for finance professionals from any area of finance including IB, PE, HF, AM, quant, fintech or anywhere else who would be open to doing a virtual talk or Q&A session over Zoom or Google Meet. Any insight is really valuable as most students are still exploring different paths and would benefit from exposure to a range of industries.
Topics students would especially love insight on:
- Your career path and major turning points
- What your day-to-day work actually looks like
- What actually matters early in your career and how people stand out
- How AI is changing workflows and decision-making in finance
- Recommended books, projects, technical skills or learning resources
- Things that surprised you when entering the industry
The format is completely flexible. This could be a Q&A, discussion or presentation depending on your preference and I’d be happy to share questions in advance.
We previously hosted a speaker from this forum and were told it was a very rewarding experience.
If you’d potentially be interested, I’d really appreciate a message or reply just here. Any insight students can gain exposure to would be hugely valuable -- this means any level of seniority.
(+ bumps are appreciated too!)

Thank you.

Thanks!
Willing to schedule it for months later if need be and do any odd hour (we can simply have the talk and record it to show the members -- they can submit any questions beforehand).
Very flexible on how long the session will be as well; willing to accommodate speakers in every way because this could make a real difference.
You've posted this at least three times.
Correct. It worked the first time thanks to the generosity of someone on here and the session genuinely helped people rethink how they approached careers in finance. A bit of reposting feels worth it if it helps students without much industry exposure get access to people already in the field. Many thanks for the bump.
