Outstanding course and summit – genuinely career-changing
I completed the Asset Management Course with Career26, and also attended the Career26 UK Student Finance Summit, and I can honestly say both were pivotal in my journey into high-finance roles.
The Asset Management course was my first proper exposure to institutional investing. It broke down complex concepts like portfolio construction, asset allocation, and risk management in a way that was practical, structured, and directly applicable to interviews. More importantly, it gave me confidence and clarity about where I wanted to take my career. That course was the original catalyst that pushed me to apply properly for front-office roles.
The UK Student Finance Summit then took that foundation to the next level. The quality of speakers, the transparency about recruitment processes, and the emphasis on long-term career strategy were genuinely unmatched. It demystified competitive applications and helped me refine how I present my experience and motivations.
As a direct result of Career26’s resources, guidance, and network, I secured multiple offers in highly competitive finance programmes, including a Rothschild & Co summer internship, as well as spring week offers from Macquarie and other top institutions. I don’t think that trajectory would have been possible without the clarity and structure Career26 provided early on.
This included clear frameworks, honest advice, and a strong community make a real difference.
I would strongly recommend Career26 to any student who is serious about breaking into asset management, investment banking, or finance more broadly.
