I am from Turkey and have lived in Thailand, Oman and Holland. Experiencing and adapting to new and different environments has been part of my life from a very early age and is still a large part of my life. London is an exciting and vibrant place to live and Education is a dynamic and challenging place to work. The good news for those of you who have the travel bug, is that there could be plenty of opportunities to travel as part of your job!
Politics and economics, as the basis of my degree, have been subjects that have always fascinated me and are both key drivers of today's financial markets. However, a background in a related finance subject is certainly not a prerequisite. Graduates that have a keen interest in investing, who are strong communicators and have the ability to effectively challenge ideas and consensus are those who stand out to us. On the team we have graduates with backgrounds ranging from physiology to classics to mathematics. The broad range of different thinkers is what makes us a strong team.
The opportunity to work with and be surrounded by extremely bright and talented people is very motivating. There is a very strong commitment to your development, not just in terms of formal training but the time and encouragement colleagues give to you. You are made to feel a valued and contributing member of the team from day one.
