Breaking Into UK Finance
Looking to build a career in UK finance but unsure where to start?
This session is designed for students, graduates and finance professionals, particularly those from emerging markets, who are looking to transition into the UK financial services industry.
Having spent nearly a decade working across Investment Banking, Debt Advisory and Private Credit in India before moving to London to study at London Business School, I understand first-hand the challenges of navigating a new market, building a network and securing opportunities in a highly competitive environment.
During my studies, I successfully secured a Debt Advisory internship, converted that experience into a permanent role and ultimately progressed into management within the UK market.
Topics we can discuss include:
- Transitioning from emerging markets into UK finance
- Making the most of a Master's, MBA or postgraduate degree
- Building a professional network in the UK
- Approaching internship and graduate recruitment
- Positioning international experience effectively
- Navigating career changes and market transitions
- Understanding the UK finance landscape
- Building a long-term career plan
- Debt Advisory, Leveraged Finance and Private Credit career paths
- Lessons learned from my own journey and what I would do differently
The session will be tailored to your background, goals and current stage of your career. My aim is to provide practical, actionable guidance based on real-world experience rather than generic career advice.
Please note that I do not provide recruitment services, job guarantees, visa advice or introductions to employers.
