for mba, it's easier since they have 2 years time. for mif, it's difficult since we only have 10 months time. most times chinese find jobs by 1) networking through friends if we want to find jobs in China 2) in London from May/June when there are many opportunities coming right before graduation 3) milkround in oct/nov, can be difficult as we need to compete with european experienced ibankers for london positions 4) some guys went to HK for months to find jobs after graduation (can be effective and some did join ibanks there)
of course if you don't mind middle/back office jobs then there should be much more opportunities
hi kevin, thanks again for the input. i am still quite interested in the one year finance program, but discouraged by the fact that most applicants are more experienced and relatively older. do you have any classmates who are younger (25-26) with no finance background, but successfully landed decent positions?
Frankly speaking, that's difficult. One of the main reasons is that after you enter LBS, you won't think of junior positions such as analyst positions in investment banks. If you target associate positions, then you must prove that you are a great person. how to prove? How can you stand out from classmates with top wall street ibank/Mckinsey experience, graduated from Harverd/MIT/Cambridge, work in EU, better communications and language skills, and even look better? However, we do have chinese alumni with about 4-5 years experience and found good jobs. then they must show their own shining points (as indicated by some chinese alumni): e.g. accounting knowledge plus oil&gas industry background, accounting knowledge plus EU work experience, real estitate expertise in Shanghai or backoffice experience in a chinese investment banks.
Thank you Kevin, I am just always wondering about the location and the relevant advantages of the City University's connection with the industry in the City of London.
Could you please tell me about your experience in the interview? What kind of question did the interviewer ask? Was the alumni a Chinese or a foreigner? How long did the interview lasted?
