Impact-report High Res FOR PRINT.jpg

SEO London has been extremely supportive before, throughout, and after my career in investment banking and the AIP Programme is no exception to this. The Super Saturday interview process was great to practice answering private equity-related questions, and the formal feedback the interviewers provided was very constructive in highlighting areas to improve on ahead of my actual job interviews. My mentor has been fantastic and initially helped me to brainstorm buyside roles for the next stage of my career following investment banking, offering also to put me in touch with her network to find out more – we still regularly keep in touch! The networking evenings have been a great way to meet other investment professionals and peers to expand my network. I’m extremely grateful for SEO London, as ever, and the AIP programme was overall extremely well organised and added value to my career.”
