“I attended external events as part of the Economics Society and the Student Managed Investment Fund, where I found out about work opportunities like internships and volunteering. During and straight after my degree, I completed several internships in investment management and venture capital. I got to know the industry, the people and the working environment, so they were great opportunities to boost my career prospects.”
