Hey 👋!
If I was a student (undergrad/masters and/or non-target) this is the exact toolkit I’d leverage to guarantee myself an offer at some of the most prestigious investment banks and financial institutions in the world (scroll down).
Imagine paying £30,000 for an undergraduate degree and/or £50,000 for a masters degree and not having a job lined up after you finish your studies.
You’d probably beat yourself up, worry you haven’t made your parents proud, stress over wasting all that money.
Here’s how investing less than £20 in yourself today can pretty much guarantee you a spring week, internship or graduate scheme offer.
I’ve deliberately kept the price at £20 (per month - you’ll only need 1-3 months), even though similar programs charge thousands. Why? Because I want to make this accessible and help as many of you as possible land offers this season—and prove my system delivers real results. If you join now, you’ll be one of the first 150 founding members before the price increases. £20 for a shot at a £50-£100k job? You won’t find a better return on investment.
FYI: 130 places have already been taken out of the 150 spots for June (250 total for 2025).
