“Every day we went to the company and received on-job training before hands-on practice. As a mathematic major student, my perception about financials has changed and I know where I am heading to now. My next trip will be to Japan and join another Investment Banking position this summer.” “We worked hard, and we had fun. At the same time, we built long-lasting relationship with the company.” “I learn not only the skill sets from actual operations, but also through this short period, I fought to understand what professionalism means and the magic of networking.” “On top of it I met an amazing group of people from all over the world that I would have never met otherwise. The friendships and the experience I developed from my internship…that is why I would recommend this program. ” “I would say that the EliteExchange experience has shown me the importance of taking a risk and trying something new. I stuck my neck out by convincing my parents to invest in this program, with the belief that this program would be the best for me professionally and personally. Because this risk has paid off, I have told everyone I know to look at this program and to apply.” “Over the weekends, we were not free. There was an investment panel waiting for us down the street. Now after starting my own career I know what it meant to me…” “EliteExchange experience was an amazing way to transition into my senior year. It gave me direction and a taste of what my life could be like after university. I’m not sure how else I would have gotten set up with the internship I had - I didn’t even know where to begin. “EliteExchange really does change you as a person into a more focused, effective and driven person. The pre- and post-EliteExchange difference is quite drastic, as you’re no longer just a student after your exposure to the real world of finance.” “The EliteExchange programme has a real community spirit and sense of support and family. It is a fantastically comprehensive programme; you couldn’t have a more perfect introduction into the world of finance. It exposes you to opportunities, industry information and a broader education on being a professional than is possible anywhere else.” “The best thing about the summer has been learning so much in just 2 weeks, being able to get a real insight into what working life is really about. The internship has taught me what hard work is about and also to believe in myself. It has given me the motivation to succeed and pursue my goals.” “I am very appreciative and happy with the experience, definitely a landmark summer in my life. Thank you, EliteExchange!” “My EliteExchange mentor was also a great support - I was able to contact him with any problems and any advice I needed. It was helpful to have a mentor that was not related to the bank so that he could give me impartial advice, and I really could be totally honest with him.” “EliteExchange offered me the opportunity to enter a challenging and demanding industry that I had not previously considered, supporting and encouraging me to attain my highest potential. The exposure that I got throughout the summer was unparalleled and the friendships I made were unforgettable. I was welcomed into a close knit family that I am truly proud to belong to!” “EliteExchange is unique in all respects. It provided me with the expertise and platforms to interact with some of the UK’s top business people at the top financial groups on a professional and personal level. Above all EliteExchange provides you with a sense of belonging to a motivated group of people with one vision and one drive: success! I strongly recommend it!” “Wow I wish I would have found the opportunity sooner. The resume looks much much and much more finance focused upon completing the internship, and your follow-up service of resume advicing really differentiate yourself from all other services. And it is free to me as an alum! You have definitely guided me in the right direction.
Thanks a lot indeed!” Stephen Jiang, Engineer Major Breaking Into Finance "The Best Investment I Ever Made" "I began doing job search just a few months ago before reaching EliteExchang in our school forum. At first glance I thought this is an career service advisory firms that runs similar business like most others in the market. But it was NOT, I ventured to call the reps and found they are actually placing qualified interns in major financial corporate. I didn't think more before heading my applicatiion and fortunately I am in!! Up till now I still believe that was the best money I have ever spent as a college student at that time. It is so good that I would not have minded paying much more even though I am in college and do not have much money. Compared to other services, the short-term internship itself and the power of EliteExchange alumni network is just my life-time asset. I ever interned at an executive coaching firm where we charge well over $300/hour to help recently laid off people find jobs in addition to reviewing their qualifications. This comes out to over $1000 just for a resume review. But the value gained from the trip is not only the resume boost-up, but also a real experience with a major firm in the city. I would rarely write a testimony but this time it really deserves it and I would tell all my friends interested in finance to have a look too."
