How did Swiss Finance equip you with the skills to find a job in the industry of your choice?

I never realized how much I learned during the program and didn't think I would feel it so instantly until I started reading news media on my flight back to New York. As I read through, I stumbled upon a very interesting article titled "Leveraged Buy-outs, private investigation". Every paragraph I read sent another light bulb on, whether it was terms like interest coverage, payment-in-kind, covenants... it even referred to the case we analyzed in class! Reading that article gave me a sense of how much I and many of my peers had accomplished at Swiss Finance during those intensive three weeks. Most of all, was this feeling of achievement and satisfaction that I couldn't but transmit to you. I am confident that you have instilled in us the seeds for success in Investment Banking and I look forward to growing them in the upcoming years.

Notes from the participant's academic and career journal at Swiss Finance:

In college I’m getting a very varied education and as they say, I’m learning how to learn. Here I’m learning finance, taking the skills I’ve been developing as an undergraduate and using them to better understand the world of finance. It is unlike any other subject and it requires all my concentration. I feel so exhausted when the day is over, but exhilarated at the same time. On the first day I felt so lost and I didn’t understand the jargon I would read or hear, but now I’m realizing I am using the terminology myself. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that I am slowly becoming an insider.
