£2.5K to spend on career development resources. Where to allocate funds?
So as the title suggests, I have received 2.5K GBP to spend on my career development / resources to allow me to become more employable. I wanted some suggestions on how I can best allocate this capital
For some context:
> Going into my 2nd year at a Target University in the UK
> Have a BB Summer Internship in Investment Banking for 2025
> I am considering doing a Masters in Finance (Oxford/LBS require GMAT)
My initial thoughts. I was going to spend some money on buying a course to prep for my summer next year in the hopes that I get a return offer ie. WSP / WSO courses on modelling, ppt etc.
I was also planning on buying some courses / books to prep for GMAT in my downtime this year, I am not 100% certain on a MSc, but I want greater optionality.
Some outlandish ideas: Soft Skills Coach, French Intensive Classes, Paying for mentorship (hate this idea).
What do the people of WSO think?
For £60 or so, highly recommend Michael Gatto’s new book on credit, and that’s likely worthwhile for any transactional FO role.
