Finance career in Luxembourg

Hello everyone,

I am going to graduate soon and since the unicareers.lu career fair is approaching I think this is the perfect opportunity for me to get in touch with potentially great employers in the future.

Despite soon having 2 technical degrees (I study in NL), my primary interests revolve around finance, consulting or investment banking. Even though I have a great academic record, some cool extracurricular courses and internships in top oil&gas company, I do not have what you call "branded schools" so based on my experiences so far, I should not put all my eggs in the consulting basket, given that it sometimes seems so elitist.

My goal is to find a place where I can learn a lot and progress quickly, doing things that challenge me. Since I perceive Luxembourg as a really really diverse place considered as #1 in finance, I am naturally attracted to it. My uncertainty is that I am not familiar with the "big" names in the financial sector(corp finance, IB, PE, VC etc) of Luxembourg which would be regarded as great places to develop yourself quickly and progress on the career ladder or used as a leverage to go to a top MBA and then enter an IB/consulting industry.

Don't get me wrong, but I do not want to end up at an average company or a bank with a great previous record if I can do much better.

I speak English but I am a few months away from achieving a B2 in German which based on my understanding can be quite an asset.

Could anyone share their experiences with me or perhaps steer me in the right direction in terms of what kind of positions in what kind of companies would enable me to reach my potential?

thanks in advance :)
