To all ESCP Students - What is the best ESCP Student Society ?
Please help me, what is the best society to learn from at ESCP. Who does the best job, what are your experiences. I need some help choosing a society. Especially for Finance jobs (IB, HF, PE etc.)
Based on the most helpful WSO content, ESCP is known for its strong focus on corporate finance, making it a solid choice for students aiming for careers in Investment Banking (IB), Hedge Funds (HF), or Private Equity (PE). While specific societies aren't explicitly mentioned in the context, students often benefit from joining finance-related clubs or societies that focus on networking, technical skill-building, and industry exposure.
At ESCP, societies or clubs that align with finance careers typically organize events like case competitions, networking sessions with alumni, and workshops on financial modeling or valuation. These activities are crucial for building the skills and connections needed for roles in IB, HF, or PE.
If you're looking for the best society, prioritize those that: 1. Offer direct interaction with industry professionals. 2. Provide hands-on workshops or training sessions. 3. Have a strong alumni network in finance sectors.
For a more specific recommendation, you might want to explore ESCP's finance-related societies or reach out to current students or alumni for their insights.

ESCP and HEC Paris have a finance club together called "escp-hec finance club". They do very selective events.
The rest are a bit BS.
A bit late to the party but I would say this is the gist:
Wealth Partners was banned from ESCP for being a fraud. The other societies are generally equal, where the publications are useful, but the main value for students will always lie in the network of the societies, especially through events.
For this, the alternative investment society (AIS) generally is the best, though they are significantly more exclusive that the other societies. Last I heard AIS had 900 applicants of which only 4 got accepted, while the finance society accepted 50 people in their latest intake or something like that.
Hope it helps, remember that your own work and networking is the biggest key!
As mentioned by others wealth partners is basically done and everybody would advise you to stay away from them.
For investment banking HEC-ESCP is going to be the way to go for major firms but AIS has some good relations with smaller firms which they can more realistically help you get into. As said by others, net work is the most important thing.
When it comes to alternatives like PE, HF, RE, VC etc etc AIS is clearly the stand out society. Recently saw they visited EQT London in person and have heard that they have expanded their teams. With this being said according to LinkedIn there acceptance rate is low single digits so definitely very hard to get into without internship experience
How the fuck are there societies that you have to be accepted into?
Sorry but is this for real?
Basically all professional societies are selective, that’s how it’s like at every well regarded school I know in Europe.
Weird ass shit
Just one more thing students are expected to humiliate themselves and grovel through interviews for
