AM/WM Firm Search + Approach
A little background on myself:
- Incoming 4th year Spanish student in a 4 year programme at a target uni in London.
- Two 1-month relevant internships at AM firms in Brazil.
I'm aware of the Trackr for Graduate Schemes in London and will be keeping up with applications (as they tend to start in late August/early Sept.) and trying my best to secure one for the end of the year. As I'm an international student, the post-Brexit situation in terms of visa is less than ideal for me so I'm trying to prepare myself as much as possible. I wanted to start networking early, sending out coffee chat messages, getting meetups, and maximizing my chances with smaller firms that may not be well-known to the public in the AM and WM industries, as those are my main interests, where my experience stem from, and what I'd like to pursue.
That being said, I ask two things:
Where can I find a list of any AM/WM firms in London? If there aren't any, what ways can I go about finding these types of firms?
What is the best approach to securing a full time position in one of those given my situation?
Thank you for reading, I don't mind clarifying anything else about me so let me know :)
