Sinbad

Programme: BSc Accounting and Finance, 2010

Current Position: Audit Department, KPMG

Country: Hong Kong

I have secured an offer from KPMG Hong Kong and will start in the Audit Department. Although I would like to live in the UK in the long run, I am not afraid of starting my career somewhere else because having an LSE degree is like having an international passport; its global recognition will enable me to transition to other countries easily, be it in one year or in 10 years time.

Currently I am back in Zurich working on strategic projects and initiatives for the Latin American market.

Andreas

Programme: MSc Management and Regulation of Risk, 2009

Current Position: Market and Liquidity Risk Management Analyst, Hellenic Bank Group

Country: Cyprus

During my studies at LSE I had the opportunity to be taught by world-class professors and to attend very important and informative seminars. It was a lifetime's experience. After finishing my master's I worked as an intern in an investment firm in Nicosia. When my internship came to an end I was offered a position as a Compliance Officer. The fact that I was an LSE graduate played an important part in getting this offer. I continued working as a Compliance Officer until I was offered a position as a Market and Liquidity Risk Management Analyst at the Hellenic Bank Group. During a time of high unemployment, when graduates find it incredibly hard to find jobs in Cyprus I managed to find one that exactly matches my degree. I believe this was due to being an LSE graduate.

Rick

Programme: MSc Real Estate Economics and Finance, 2009

Current Position: Director of Research at John Burns Real Estate Consulting

Country: USA

I enjoyed every moment of my time as a graduate student at the LSE. Aside from the sheer magnitude of intellectual capital present on campus, London in itself provided the ideal backdrop for experiencing university life to the fullest. Without a doubt, my experiences and stories of the LSE and the city are life changing. I have had experiences as an investment banking analyst and real estate consultant. I was previously an economic research analyst at the Milken Institute (a prominent think tank in the U.S.) and then moved on to be a Senior Research Analyst at John Burns Real Estate Consulting, LLC (an independent research provider and consulting firm focused on the housing industry).
