From Council Estate to Goldman Sachs

The story behind the book.

Hey 👋!

I’ll be honest. I wasn’t supposed to work in finance.

I didn’t go to an elite or ivy league uni. Nor did I know anyone in banking before breaking in. I literally had zero idea what a “spring week” was before going to uni.

What I did have was relentless hustle, trial-and-error, and just enough direction to land an offer at Goldmans.

It’s safe to say that journey changed everything.

I wrote Breaking Into Banking for the version of me who felt lost. This isn’t just theory — it’s the book I wish existed when I was 18.

It’s structured. Practical. And extremely honest.

No fluff. No fillers. Just the roadmap to breaking into the industry.

If you know you want to pursue a career in the world of finance, and consider yourself dedicated and serious, this book is for you.

Rooting for you,
