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

With classes that last 12-14 hours a day, I feel prepared for the real world, since I have now been there. I entered Swiss Finance Academy without fully realizing what it took to work inside the banking world, but now that I have lived in that world for a month, I know success is in my future. I’ve learned the lingo and can keep up with articles and media reports with ease. The instructors didn’t just show us what investment bankers do, they prepared us for the real world. My instructors’ work experiences as well as their contacts have given me a ‘heads up’ on what to expect when I enter the working world. Now I have the confidence to enter the investment banking world with confidence.

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

We had a very exciting session today. I learned a great deal of what investment bankers do and what their specific functions are. I learned about the VIX index. I didn’t even know there was a volatility index, let alone how it is calculated. There are two kinds of risk (RCY), price and reinvestment risk, and now I know how each kind is assessed.
