| FROM ESCP MiM Students Blog: Top 3 Reasons Companies Choose ESCP Students and Alumni |
|
In today’s ever-changing world, the best asset for a company is its talents. Choosing the right people is key to creating and maintaining a competitive advantage and critical to the success of any business: the right team embodies the greatest way for a company to keep growing. Consequently, firms partner with top business schools to have the first choice for students and alumni. [url=https://www.escp.eu]ESCP Business School[/url] responds to corporate needs by training high-potential managers. “We approached ESCP because we know that it can supply the talents we need and offers its partners a wide range of initiatives to create profitable synergies between companies and the university,“ declared [b]Federico Leproux, TeamSystem CEO,[/b] when he signed the partnership with ESCP Turin Campus. The Business School offers its wide network of companies access to a highly motivated, dynamic, and culturally diverse student body of interns and graduates. It looks like ESCP Business School has the recipe for success for the next generation of leaders: intense international training through an interdisciplinary approach, merging theory and practice. [b]But what makes ESCP students and alumni different from other candidates?[/b] We asked top managers and alumni, and all seem to agree on three reasons to hire ESCP talent. [b]Simon Freakley, AlixPartners CEO, [/b]provides the summary. “The structure and content of ESCP’s curriculum ensures its graduates are ready to enter the workforce immediately following graduation and aligns closely with AlixPartners’ core values. Access to the school’s multiple campuses throughout Europe equips students with a cross-cultural understanding and experience which serves them well throughout their careers. This ability to work and communicate effectively across countries and cultures is a skill that is in high demand, especially in global consulting firms. And finally, the school’s heavy focus on teamwork and networking gives its students a solid grounding in teamwork, communication, and personal respect“. #1 International and cross-cultural exposure Studying in several countries makes young students more independent and capable of making conscious choices about their future. Thanks to the multicampus model at [url=https://www.escp.eu]ESCP[/url], students can experience incredible personal development stimulated by daily engagement with other cultures and languages that broaden their perspective. Studying with international professors and peers from all over the world and from different backgrounds exposes students to new ideas, perspectives and learning approaches. It is a unique opportunity to experience and understand multiculturalism and diversity, by living immersed in an open and inclusive environment. In that regard, [b]Pietro Luigi Ghigo,[/b] Head of Commercial at YiBai (YUMChina & Lavazza Joint Venture), and [url=https://www.escp.eu/mim]Master in Management[/url] Alumnus, said: “ESCP has allowed me to acquire an international and multicultural dimension, giving me a broader perspective“. #2 Job Readiness and pragmatic mindset [b]Theory is nothing without practice. [/b]ESCP Business School encourages and supports its students in developing work experience during their studies. It trains them with hands-on engagement thanks to the learning-by-doing approach and real-world experience gained by ESCP students in class, thanks to business cases and company projects, but also with extracurricular activities. “ESCP played a key role in giving me the tools and the motivation to start my own business and become a better professional, thanks to what I learned inside and outside the classroom […]. The beauty of ESCP is that it offers plenty of opportunities to “learn by doing”, as we did in the context of Regatta ESCP“, [b]said ESCP alumnus Romolo Ganzerli, [/b]cofounder of MammaPack and Global Digital Marketing Director at Wella Company. “Looking back, I think that overall, the Master in Management programme, both in terms of the courses but also in terms of the structure and organisation, is really a perfect mix to prepare for consultancy. An added value is the pragmatic mindset used in the courses and the incredible opportunity to do several internships“, added [b]Edoardo Persenda, ESCP alumnus and Vice President at AlixPartners.[/b] Internships are a crucial component of ESCP programmes and are essential in developing the right set of soft skills to work in a corporate environment. The ESCP Careers Service guides students to define and refine their career plans, obtain valuable information, and learn about different job opportunities internationally. Work experience plays a key part in determining an individual’s work readiness, and potential employers highly value it. [img]https://i0.wp.com/blog.masters.escp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Turin-article-2.jpeg?resize=578%2C385&ssl=1[/img] Career Fair at ESCP “We were very impressed with the quick thinking, analytical skills and efficient approach to solving problems and finding alternative solutions that we saw in ESCP students“, stated [b]Mauro Giacobbe, CEO of Facile.it.[/b] #3 Teamwork and networking Previous work experience is much appreciated but what makes the difference for a recruiter is a candidate with an excellent aptitude for teamwork. Managers across business sectors increasingly prioritise the ability to work in a team. ESCP prepares students for professional business environments with group work and projects to train them to thrive in teams, by instilling the benefits of collaborative work and learning. Group projects help students develop skills faster than through independent study. Furthermore, team dynamics place them in constructive dialogue with their classmates, encouraging them to challenge assumptions and evaluate their ideas. Teamwork enhances personal development and prepares management students for high-paced professional environments, from start-up offices to top company boardrooms. Finally, team dynamics help students build crucial networks both during and after their studies. “What you get from ESCP is not only a high-level education, but something more that is equally important in achieving your goals. My group of classmates represented a new family and a solid network base, a fundamental asset in achieving professional goals” said [b][url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/pietro-luigi-ghigo-43174599/]Pietro Luigi Ghigo[/url].[/b] [img]https://i0.wp.com/blog.masters.escp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/TURIN-article-1-1.jpeg?resize=566%2C377&ssl=1[/img] Forging trust, respect and friendship, group work can be an ideal foundation for professional networks among similarly minded business professionals. These networking benefits are heightened in international schools like ESCP Business School, where students work closely with classmates from around the world. [b]So, if you want to be hired by top firms and succeed in the real world it is crucial to embrace a study path that combines theory and practice at the same time.[/b] |

| FROM LBS MiM Admissions Blog: Reflecting on my first term on the MiM |
 By Wanda Novakova, MiM 2022 Hi everyone, my name is Wanda, and I’m a current Masters in Management (MiM) student at LBS. My first term at LBS absolutely flew by, and I’m happy to share some of my highlights here with you! Academics My first term was split into two parts with a short break in the middle. The first half-term modules consisted of accounting, finance, and data analytics. Coming from a non-quantitative background, these courses helped to extend my knowledge considerably and while it might have been a challenge at times, I particularly enjoyed seeing my progress in real time. The second half-term consisted of marketing, strategy and microeconomics. I will always be grateful for just how much effort each professor put into making the courses interactive, challenging but also rewarding. For example, in my strategy class, we prepared suggestions to real-life cases, and were critiqued on a logical argument rather than one right answer, which is found — All coupled with group projects based on practical analyses often present in one’s day-to-day future professional career, ensured an all-encompassing first-term experience that instilled in me a strong “get it done” attitude and a solid approach to solving problems. LBS Community While hearing about the LBS international and collaborative culture might begin to sound like a cliché after a while, I can only attest that it’s as great as it sounds! So far, I’ve never been a part of a community that is more task-focused while maintaining a positive attitude, calmness, and an open mind. Being at LBS requires a lot of work and might bring along some challenging times. Precisely in these moments it’s more important than ever that you have a group of friends, classmates, and faculty around generally happy to help you with anything you need. At LBS, sharing is the standard of the day that you can count on. You can often see students preparing one another for an interview for the same positions or explaining academic concepts. Moreover, as everyone is from somewhere else, and many of us are a mixture of everything you can imagine, you learn to think globally very quickly, which is a useful skill to carry in the increasingly interconnected world! Extra-curricular activities & careers Do you feel passionate about tech, sailing or even food? At LBS, there’s a club for virtually everything. Personally, being a part of the consulting and DACH club has allowed me to deepen my expertise professionally and geographically. Most importantly, it allowed me to connect and spend time with some awesome people from both clubs. LBS is also famous for its Thursday-night Sundowners. This is a wonderful opportunity to grab a pint, meet students from other programmes and genuinely have a lovely time. A large part of the LBS experience comes from cross-programme interactions and Sundowners is for sure a good place to start. How could I forget to mention our amazing Careers Centre? Never. In fact, did you know your interaction with the Careers Centre begins before you even arrive at LBS? From having your CV regularly checked, to getting career advice, the Careers Centre goes above and beyond to make sure you leave LBS with a job that suits you and your abilities and what you love. Coming to LBS still wondering about what it is you want to do can be daunting, as many students here seem to have it all figured out. In my case, the Careers Centre did a wonderful job in taking the time to explore my capabilities and interests with me and to connect me to alumni I could discuss my plans with further. Oh, the lovely London Last but not least, the L in LBS means a lot! Being in London is beyond exciting and no day is the same. The city is full of lovely experiences waiting for you to discover. My personal favourite during the weekend is to take a walk in Hyde Park, stop at Kensington for coffee (and something sweet, of course), visit one of London’s wonderful museums and end the night with a few friends somewhere in Soho or East London! The possibilities are limitless, so go make the best of them. Being a student here at LBS has been an absolute blast. I’m very grateful for the friends I’ve made, the courses that expanded my knowledge and the lovely faculty I got to interact with. Feel free to reach out in case of any further questions!

| FROM LBS MiM Admissions Blog: Masters in Management: My first term reflections |
|
By Katarina Susa, MiM2022 Has it already been one term? It feels rather like I was seated at orientation day at the Brewery, listening to Dean François Ortalo-Magné’s welcome speech just a few weeks ago. But then again, August also seems like ages ago. While these two feelings are very contradictory, both perfectly align with my experience of the first term at London Business School. To say it has been a busy few months would be an understatement. With all the novelty from starting a Master’s programme at a new school, in an area you might not be familiar with, there has been plenty to keep occupied with while working towards the Masters in Management (MiM) degree. I don’t even know where to begin, but, to put it shortly, I have gained more academically in the past 3-4 months than I could have ever anticipated. Having selected LBS for its world class teaching and with the purpose of improving my business acumen, my experience during term one has definitely exceeded my expectations of the programme. I was prepared for it to be intense, but I could never have known how immersive and engaging all the core modules and material would be. The highlight of the programme for me so far has been the excellent faculty and staff, who I find to be extremely passionate about their subjects. Taking part in contrastingly different classes – from Financial Accounting to the likes of Marketing and Data Analytics, I am certain that by the end of this year, I will have achieved a rounded education and feel completely prepared for the world of (in my case) consulting. But really, I do not believe LBS and the programme limits you to any specific career path – rather it opens more doors and opportunities, especially with all the support offered by an excellent Careers Team. And of course, there are the socials and clubs, which, at first, overwhelmed me, because there are numerous to choose from – a variety which does not cease to impress me. At LBS these past few months, I have been able to meet such a diverse crowd of inspiring peers with whom I would have never connected with if it weren’t for the MiM programme. There is always talk about being diverse and representing multiple nationalities, but in the case of LBS, I am experiencing it first-hand. And the learning opportunities from being part of such a multinational crowd may even outweigh the academic learning. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us in next term. See you in 2022!

| FROM LBS MiF Admissions Blog: My top tips for the MiF “hidden” application essays |
 By Matthew Eidinger, MiFPT2023 Here’s a question to ponder before submitting your application to the LBS Masters in Finance programme (MiF): How many application essays are required? You might think, “Well, that’s an easy question! There are two essays!” There are indeed the two main essays on the MiF application – the first is about your motivation for applying to the MiF and your career goals, and the second is about your interest in getting involved in student life at LBS. These two essays are important, since they are the first glimpse into your profile that the admissions committee will have prior to your interview. However, you would be only partially correct to say that the MiF requires two written essays. There are actually four other opportunities to write responses to questions on the application. These “hidden essays” cover your personal interests, the challenges you envision in the MiF, your international experiences and how your circle of friends and family will take to (or have taken to) your decision to study at LBS. I feel that these parts of the application are often overlooked and viewed as simple routine questions. However, they provide great opportunities to stand out from other applicants and show the MiF admissions team who you are as a person outside the classroom and the office. If you write something that stands out, chances are that it could imbue your application with a certain “spike factor”, leaving a good impression with both the admissions committee and your alumni interviewer. In my case, my write up on the personal interests hidden essay served as an interesting talking point during my application interview. My interviewer had already read through my application prior to our chat. At one point during our discussion she brought up my personal interest in stargazing, which I had discussed in the essay, and we discussed it for a good 5-10 minutes. She told me that it was something she’d never seen on an application before during all her years of interviewing MiF candidates for LBS. In the end, I think applicants should focus most of their effort on writing good essays in response to the main questions asked on the application – what will the MiF do for your career, and what parts of student life at LBS you’re interested in getting involved in. Do not neglect these hidden essays, since they provide great opportunities to show the admissions committee who you are before they meet you and can provide great talking points to put you at ease during your admissions interview!

| FROM ESCP MiM Students Blog: The quest of finding my passion |
|
Growing up I was positive that I wanted to be a professional table tennis player. After all, it was something I was ridiculously good at (or so I thought!). When this bubble burst I found a new dream, new goal, new ambition. This time around I envisioned for myself a thriving career in production engineering and industrial management. Alas, this ‘dream’ of mine waned away over the course of an internship at an automotive company. Decision Analytics: my next pursuit. I worked intensively in business forecasting for a little over 2 years, but soon, I reached a point where I wanted to broaden my horizons even further. I wanted to break out of my comfort zone and challenge myself but did I know what I wanted? No. Everyone encounters a phase in their professional careers where they are unsure of the way ahead; they don’t know themselves and have yet to find a true passion. Some get stuck in a place or job that they do not really enjoy but are too afraid to go out and try something new. And some people are aware that they do not like what they are doing but cannot find the means to discover themselves. And when asked – “Where do you see yourself down the line?”. Nightmare strikes and existential crises begin! I decided that I needed a way to explore different options. To that end, [url=https://www.escp.eu]ESCP[/url] was the right choice because it gives me the flexibility to try out various things at my own pace. So yet again, I packed my bags and moved to Europe. Here, I have been testing out multiple fields to understand what truly resonates with me. There are incredible resources available that open up a whole new dimension for the students here. I have actively sought to learn about all the conventional and unconventional career choices that people have made. Here’s an account of all the things that have helped me find a direction. [b]Ideas spawn from ideas[/b] [b]Networking[/b] The more people you meet the more you get acquainted with a myriad of career options. Networking in itself opens up several avenues that you might otherwise be unaware of. An article ‘[url=https://blog.masters.escp.eu/2020/06/16/professional-network/]Why is it important to build your professional network?[/url]’ by [url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/boumediene/]Anass Boumediene[/url], an [url=https://www.escp.eu]ESCP [/url]alumnus, captures the essence and importance of networking succinctly. ESCP can boast about a very strong alumni association which facilitates events conducive to learning, growing and networking. I have grabbed every opportunity to interact with the alumni and current students. I attended several ‘Ask me anything’ sessions with an esteemed alumnus which gave me an insight into a plethora of unconventional career paths that ESCP Alumni have taken. Another such event that opened up a whole new avenue for me was ‘Alumnight’. With a diverse alumni cohort ranging from the batch of ‘86 to ’23, the Alumnight fueled me with inspiration. Want to know more about these events? Download the ESCP Alumni app from Appstore or log on [url=https://www.escpalumni.org/]to the website.[/url] [b]You won’t know unless you try![/b] I believe that our actions are often guided by preconceived notions. It is because of this that we sometimes shut ourselves out of new experiences. Fortunately, at ESCP there are multiple student societies that give students first-hand experience of working in a variety of fields like consulting, marketing, finance, non-profit, social work, strategy, sustainability etc. These societies work on real time projects with real clients and deliver value. Being a part of these societies enhances your skills, strengthens your network and most importantly gives clarity about your likings. Get a glimpse of the vibrant student society culture at ESCP [url=https://escp.eu/student-life#life-associations]here[/url]. [b]Be a good listener [/b] A great deal of learning happens when one dares to explore beyond the classroom. There are several people who willingly come and share their experiences and are more than happy to mentor you throughout your journey. My interactions with my mentor have been very enriching. Having someone who has been through this process already is very reassuring. Throughout the year, across campuses, there are several webinars, conferences and seminars that are conducted by ESCP. Each of these events is unique in its own sense, with well renowned guest speakers sharing their two cents. Keep a watch on your mailbox to never miss another seminar, webinar or conference. [b]Reading is your new hobby[/b] [b]Read. Read. Read. [/b] ‘Reading’ is that magic potion which unlocks doors for you. Since childhood, we have been told 1000 times over the benefits of being an avid reader. But if you aren’t one, well, then there are podcasts too that you can listen to! To be honest, I have never been a relentless reader. However, new information has always intrigued me and I actively seek to further strengthen my understanding. For me reading articles is the easiest way to do so. ‘[url=https://thechoice.escp.eu/]The Choice’[/url] is a platform where you can find articles, interviews, blogs and podcasts in abundance. Choose a topic. Choose a format. Get started! Finding your passion is a process which involves embarking on a series of introspective journeys. However daunting it might sound, it is worth the effort. You just have to look around and recognise the abundance of resources available for all of us who want to make the most of ourselves. As you pack your bags to set on a journey of introspection, do not forget to enjoy the process. I wish you luck and hope you find your passion. Bon voyage!

| FROM ESCP MiM Students Blog: Work Hard, Play Hard: How ESCP’s Social Life Helps Students Build Their Dream Careers |
|
Studying at [url=https://www.escp.eu]ESCP [/url]offers a unique experience. Alongside the demands of the degree courses, all of which feature extensive practical projects (such as integrated internships, consultancy projects and networking with experts), students are encouraged to take a step further and enhance their Master experience through participating in one or more of the many societies and events on offer across ESCP’s six campuses. Building on its entrepreneurial roots and mindset, the School is a hive of constant activity where people of varied backgrounds come together in their spare time to pursue their interests, swap knowledge and expertise, and support one another. This makes it an ideal place for anyone ready to both work hard and play hard to get to their dream career. After all, ESCP is much more than just getting a degree. In this article we interview three Master students who chose to play hard and juggle an intensive extracurricular schedule alongside their studies to help them pave the way to their dream careers. [b]Combining coursework with extracurricular activities[/b] Maxime Hubert, in his second year of the [url=https://escp.eu/programmes/master-in-management]Master in Management[/url], is also heavily involved in the student society scene: he’s[b] vice president of the sponsorship and events division of the Finance Society and president of the TED Talk Society at ESCP London campus.[/b] “The ESCP Finance society offers a point of support for me because my current Master specialisation is in investment banking. It’s another way for me to keep up to date with the financial sector and understand some real issues. The society also organises events where we look at the requirements of professional positions and the challenges you can face with employers, so I know what to expect when I graduate.” [img]https://i0.wp.com/blog.masters.escp.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/ESCP_Finance_society_company_visit_JPMorgan01.jpg?resize=616%2C346&ssl=1[/img] ESCP Finance society company visit JPMorgan Making the connection between study and work was also a motivation for Amalia Bogdan, an [url=https://escp.eu/programmes/specialised-masters-MScs/MSc-in-digital-transformation-management-and-leadership]MSc in Digital Transformation Management & Leadership[/url] student, in becoming [b]president of the BizTech Society:[/b] “We are currently working with a startup from Portugal which is launching in January, and are involved in their marketing strategies. We can help the company because what they want is very close to our studies, and the society members are very interested and motivated. It’s our main focus now as the launch date is very soon, and it’s taking up all our time.” The demands of her course and society work mean that Amalia has a packed schedule, but she is quick to point out that time management and effective teamwork are skills that the BizTech Society is helping to develop. “We have people from different Master and Bachelor courses, so we all have different schedules. This means that we can complement each other according to the needs of our courses. At the moment it’s very balanced, with equal numbers from across the programmes, which makes it very easy to spread out the tasks and take on work from others when they can’t.” [b]Teamwork is the key[/b] ‘I try to be organised, and having a structure and a plan is very important to me, but it’s also about learning how to work as a team, which means supporting one another. I am the kind of person who thinks that you always find the time to do something. But the variety of people in the BizTech Society means that I can always get help if I am overwhelmed.’ Natalia Alonso, an[b] [/b][url=https://escp.eu/programmes/specialised-masters-MScs/MSc-in-energy-management]MSc in Energy Management[/url] student and the recently elected [b]president of the Energy Society[/b], has similar feelings: ‘Managing a team is a new experience for me. I oversee everyone’s activity as well as my own, and I have to have clear communication with the board and the ESCP management. I’m still figuring out how to manage the workload, but I’m enjoying it, and we’re talking to the kind of companies that I’d like to work for.’ Natalia’s idea is for the society to bring students together with industry experts, so that they can meet new people and get a better idea of the industry as a whole to see where they might be able to find future employment opportunities ‘There are so many sectors in energy, so one thing we are doing is connecting students with different experts through monthly webinars. Our last one was on COP26 outcomes, and future events will focus on sustainability, electric vehicles, hydrogen and energy efficiency. ‘We are also in collaboration with UCL, Imperial and LSE on an Energy Journal, which has been a great way to expand our network. Four members of the society are contributing articles and two are acting as editors.’ Also planned for early 2022 are a site visit to a solar plant to look at its business approach and technical operation, and a networking event with [url=https://www.escpalumni.org/gene/main.php]ESCP alumni[/url] so students can get some advice about their forthcoming working life after graduation. [b]Learning about team management[/b] Like Natalia, Maxime is also learning about team management and interaction as president of the ESCP TEDx London society. ‘In London, we organise one event each year under the TEDx name, with eight speakers. Our next event is taking place on International Women’s Day in March 2022 and is on Adversity and Hope. It’s a big challenge, because we don’t have a lot of prior experience and we have to rely on each other. I am learning how to regulate my behaviour for the team as well as get the best out of others. I am working with motivated people from many different backgrounds. The energy effervescing from them is very exciting to see.’ All three talk about how their involvement in societies and events, while asking a lot of them, is valuable because it offers different ways to talk to experts in their fields and learn transferable skills complementing their degree courses. [b]Sharing passions, creating friendships[/b] ‘It really helps you appreciate the moment you’re in,’ says Maxime. ‘Managing a project allows you to take responsibility and learn about working life. Even though there are stressful times, you are working with others who want the same thing. You make good friends.’ The blend of socialisation and work is important for Amalia too, particularly in the culturally and professionally diverse setting that ESCP offers: ‘You learn a lot from your peers because we come from very different backgrounds, and it’s always very interesting to discuss things and see where everyone stands. We come together because we’re interested and passionate about the same things, even though we study different subjects.’ ‘I think that now I have a better definition of where I want to go,’ says Natalia. ‘Running the society and public speaking as president have helped me feel 100% more confident than I did a few months ago.’ On the six ESCP campuses across Europe, students like Amalia, Natalia and Maxime can get involved in over [b]80 societies[/b] to grow their practical skills through exposure to experts and management projects, informing and supporting one another. This student-centred approach of ESCP provides a vital, confidence-building and professional opportunity for students to fully immerse themselves in the world of international business through a vast range of activities. Taking part in student societies can take a lot of time and energy, especially when it comes to professional societies. But students at ESCP Business School prove that the rewards can well be worth the effort: sharing your passion and achieving a goal with your fellow members, while at the same time developing your leadership and organisational skills and expanding your professional network. These are all essential building blocks of your future career and a welcome complement to the learning journey.

| FROM ESCP MiM Students Blog: Turin’s 10 best restaurants according to MSc in Food & Beverage Students. |
|
The Piedmont region offers a rich range of high-quality gastronomic products and boasts the extraordinary record of the highest number of Michelin-starred chefs. World-famous quality products such as the white truffle of Alba, chocolate, hazelnuts, cheeses and highly prized and celebrated wines such as Nebbiolo, Barolo and Barbaresco are the stars of the gastronomic scene. Turin, the regional capital, is also the home of vermouth, and known as the city of chocolate. Turin is at the origin of the “Merenda Sinoira” the ancestor of the now fashionable aperitivo, a social event consisting of a beverage accompanied by potato chips, olives, appetisers, focaccia and other finger foods. We asked the students of the MSc in International Food & Beverage Management, who are spending their first semester in Turin, to make a list of the best restaurants in the city. They are divided into 5 categories: fine dining, local cuisine, zero waste, fusion and budget-friendly. Fine dining restaurants #1 Condividere – One Michelin Star  Lavazza and Ferran Adrià. These two names are enough to describe this restaurant. Photo: condividere.com Condividere (sharing in Italian) is the combination of two important names in the food & beverage sector: Lavazza (“Italy’s favourite coffee” based in Turin) and Ferran Adrià, the multi-starred Spanish chef, creator of molecular cuisine. Their objective is to combine gastronomic excellence with the warmth that characterises Italian dining. As with the best restaurants in the world, Condividere is more about the whole experience than just what you are served on a plate. Condividere brings out the best of typical Mediterranean conviviality: eating together at the same table with family and friends.

The name, in fact, is an English and Piedmontese play on words: “poor” and “manger”. Together you get “poor eat”, cheap eating. At Poormanger, they start with the best potatoes. They then cook them slowly in a special oven, which makes the centre soft and tender but the skin crispy and tasty. The potatoes are brushed with extra virgin olive oil from Liguria and topped with fresh seasonal ingredients, all from local producers. Their topping combinations are inspired by the Italian gastronomic tradition, so in a way, you could say it’s Italy on a potato. They operate in a sustainable kitchen, with minimal waste and without the use of plastic, always careful of the impact on the environment. The price? 5€ to 7.5€ for a delicious stuffed potato. Ah… I forgot, every day they offer a secret special potato off the menu, so be sure to ask for it. There are many reasons to choose Turin as your study location. Being a football fan is one of them (Go, Juventus!); with the Alps less than an hour away, being a skier is another. As the Italian capital of flavour, chocolate and the aperitivo, though, Turin is one of the best examples of what European cuisine has to offer.

The Piedmont region offers a rich range of high-quality gastronomic products and boasts the extraordinary record of the highest number of Michelin-starred chefs. World-famous quality products such as the white truffle of Alba, chocolate, hazelnuts, cheeses and highly prized and celebrated wines such as Nebbiolo, Barolo and Barbaresco are the stars of the gastronomic scene. Turin, the regional capital, is also the home of vermouth, and known as the city of chocolate. Turin is at the origin of the “Merenda Sinoira” the ancestor of the now fashionable aperitivo, a social event consisting of a beverage accompanied by potato chips, olives, appetisers, focaccia and other finger foods. We asked the students of the MSc in International Food & Beverage Management, who are spending their first semester in Turin, to make a list of the best restaurants in the city.

| FROM LBS MiM Admissions Blog: My experience in Student Clubs as an Early Careers Student |
 By Lindsey Zastawny, MFA2022 I remember a year ago when I was writing my application essays for LBS, scouring the website trying to narrow down the clubs that I wanted to join. Being involved in activities has always been an important part of school for me, as it’s afforded me the opportunity to meet so many people outside of my courses and take on leadership roles. This year during my MFA, I’ve been lucky enough to serve on the Executive Committees for Women in Business, as part of the Community and Social Team and the Sailing Club as a VP – Cruising. Choosing What to Get Involved in and Applying to the Executive Committee With so many clubs offered at LBS, it can be overwhelming to try and only choose a few. Personally, I chose to be a member of the Investment Management Club, Sailing Club, and Women in Business. These were three organisations that I believed would help me grow professionally while expanding my network across all the programmes at LBS. Furthermore, just because you’re only a member of a few clubs doesn’t mean you can’t still participate at events held by other clubs! I recently attended the Retail and Luxury Goods Conference, and you don’t need to be a member to attend such events. A good rule of thumb is to pick at a professional and a social or sports club, one to further your career and one to have to blow off steam and relax. Next, it’s important to decide if you want to apply for a leadership position, or “ExCo” position as we call them at LBS. The application process and deadlines differ for each club, so make sure to stay up to date with the communications they send out. Typically, there will be an initial application where you fill out some basic information about yourself as well as your motivation for joining the club and the specific team you are applying for within the club. Then the senior members will select people for interviews. In my experience, they were super short, only around 10 minutes, and they were a chance for me to meet some of the people I could potentially be working with throughout the year and share some of my ideas. If you end up not getting the position you apply for, don’t fret! There are still many ways to stay involved in the club and be an active and contributing member even without being on the Exco. My ExCo Experiences at LBS Ever since I first started researching LBS, I knew that if I joined the MFA I wanted to be involved with the Women in Business (WiB) club. During my undergraduate degree I was always one of the few girls in my finance curriculum, so I wanted to be a part of an organisation that uplifted and supported of women. As a member of the Community & Social team, I helped out with the Equality Ball that happened before winter break. Luckily, we were finally able to hold the event in person again and while there are always challenges when planning such a large event, we were successful in raising money for UN Women – the ultimate goal of the event. Throughout the rest of the year, my team oversees planning events that bring WiB members together to foster community and promote interaction across all the programs and cohorts. During my undergraduate degree, sailing had been a way for me to push myself out of my comfort zone, and I thought that it would help me to do that LBS too. As a VP of Sailing – Cruising I plan our Salty Dog day sailing trips that allow everyone from beginners to those who have been sailing for years a chance to get out on the water. The camaraderie among the ExCo team is great, and I always look forward to seeing them in at social events or out on the water. I’m most excited for the LBS MBA regatta in Athens, Greece this spring. I’ve always raced in smaller boats during university, so I can’t wait to be racing in bigger boats in such a beautiful area. I don’t think my LBS experience would have been the same if I had not pushed myself to get involved in various clubs. While it’s important to get close with your cohort, it’s equally important to make an effort to meet the MBA and MiF students as well, you never know when those connections could come in handy and the advice I’ve received from many of my fellow ExCo members has been invaluable.

| FROM LBS MiF Admissions Blog: Masters in Finance: Concentrations explained |
|
[b]By Charlotte Tait, MiF Recruitment Manager[/b] Year after year, the ability to follow Concentrations within our [url=https://www.london.edu/campaigns/masters-degrees/masters-in-finance][b]Masters in Finance (MiF)[/b][/url] programme proves highly popular with our students and it’s something prospective students often ask us about. We’ve therefore decided to shine a light on them, putting together some information on what they entail as well as collating some insights from current students who are pursuing them. [b]What are Concentrations?[/b] Concentrations are a great way of signaling to recruiters and potential employers that you have specialised in a particular area of finance. Students achieve a Concentration by taking the Practitioner Courses and choosing from a list of electives that correspond with the Concentration. We offer four Concentrations on the MiF: Investment Management Analysis, CFO, Corporate Finance, and Risk Management and Derivatives. It isn’t necessary to decide on the Concentration you want to do before the start of the programme. Students are able to decide when they are on the programme, and often find that towards the end of the MiF, simply by pursuing their specific interests, they have already taken several electives that correspond with a Concentration. Therefore, they only need to select one or two additional electives in order to achieve a Concentration. It’s important to note that MiF students are not required to do a Concentration and can freely choose up to 10 electives from our list of 40. If, however, you decide to do a Concentration and complete the Electives and Practitioner Courses to do so, this will be shown in your transcript and the Programme Office can also write a letter to support this should you wish to flag it to the attention of potential employers. See below the Practitioner Courses required for each of the Concentrations: [b]Concentration[/b] [b]Practitioner Course[/b][b] to achieve Concentration[/b] Investment Management and Analysis The Business of Asset Management CFO The Business of Corporate Finance CFO Corporate Finance The Business of Corporate Finance Risk Management and Derivatives Applied Risk Management and Derivatives [b]Why [/b][b]choose[/b][b] a Concentration?[/b] [b]Andrew Yeo (MiF Part-time 2021)[/b] [b]Investment Management and Analysis, and Corporate Finance Concentrations[/b] “While my background is in Risk Management & Derivatives, I wanted to make use of the opportunity at London Business School to learn more and pursue different tracks. Having a list of Concentration requirements made it easier for me to customise the MiF after the core courses, and made it easier to pick from a varied list of electives during the bidding process. As part of the Concentration you also get to take a Practitioner Course. Having practitioners such as Senior Managers from BP and BNP Paribas, Senior Partners from law firms, and distinguished Alumni from LBS, talk about industry practices was incredibly helpful in bridging the gap between what is theoretically correct versus what is actually being done in the real world. I would definitely encourage students to pursue a Concentration or even two Concentrations – this isn’t as intense as it sounds because some electives fulfil different Concentration tracks.” [b]Vartan Indjeian (MiF Part-time 2021) [/b] [b]CFO and Corporate Finance Concentrations[/b] “Based on my experiences and my long-term goal to be a CFO of a Private Equity or Venture Capital firm, I am seeking to obtain the CFO and Corporate Finance Concentrations. Completing the elective coursework for both Concentrations will help me expand my technical finance skills to be in a better position to transition into this type of role, as well as build my leadership and people management skills which are crucial to meet my goals.” [b]Michael Coombs (MiF Part-time 2020) [/b] [b]MiF Practitioner Courses[/b] “At first, I was concerned about selecting electives that would ensure a Concentration aligned with my professional goals, but I quickly realised that most people’s course choices naturally align with the Concentrations that they are interested in any way! The most helpful part of pursuing the Concentration were the Practitioner Courses, which really draw materials from your syllabus and compares and contrasts it with what people are truly doing in the market day-to-day.” [b]Interested in applying[/b][b] to the MiF[/b][b]?[/b] If you have any questions about the MiF programme you can reach out to me or my team by [email=mif@london.edu][b]email[/b][/email] or call us on +44(0)207007505.

| FROM ESCP MiM Students Blog: 5 Tips to Getting a Job in Germany without Speaking German |
|
For plenty of reasons, Germany can be quite an attractive place to launch or pursue your career, especially after graduating with a German degree. Europe’s largest economy is internationally renowned for its strength in certain industries (think automotive, engineering, manufacturing, etc.) and in general offers a wide variety of professional opportunities. There’s the relatively high earning potential, a comfortable quality of life, and a labour market that is, to a large extent, open to foreigners. Great, you might be thinking, but I don’t speak German – what are my odds? The good news is that because of Germany’s influential role as a hub in the global economy, if you know where and how to look, you’ll find suitable jobs that don’t require fluent German skills. As the Head of Career Development on the ESCPBerlin Campus, Dr. Michaela Wieandt is an expert on the German labour market. Dr. Wieandt leads a team that manages company relations, and helps thousands of students navigate their career goals, primarily in the countries of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Below Dr. Wieandt shares her advice and insights to help you land the role that you want in Germany. #1 Have clear expectations about the number of jobs available to you To be clear, speaking German at a professional level opens up many more doors for you than otherwise, but you can still find those English-speaking roles. “It will probably not be the easiest job hunt,” says Dr. Wieandt. “Knowing German is still relevant and makes your job search a lot smoother, simply because there are more open positions available.” If you imagine yourself settling in Germany permanently, then start learning German as soon as you arrive. It will not only provide you more career opportunities in both the short and long term, but will ease many other aspects of your life as well. #2 Focus on multinational corporations or larger companies that originated in Germany Most English-speaking jobs are available either in big corporations that have major global offices in Germany, or started off in Germany and have since scaled up (one famous example is Adidas). These are companies like Henkel, Beiersdorf, BASF, METRO, Tesa, Continental, Goretex, to name a few. An additional tip from Dr. Wieandt? “Identify any global teams or units they may have.” If you’re thinking about the famed car manufacturers that are international in addition to being founded in Germany, your odds will be mixed. These companies are sought-after employers among Germans so openings are rare and competition is high. Hiring managers in this industry also prefer engineering backgrounds for many diverse kinds of roles, which is tough to find even in German-speaking candidates. Consider mid-sized German businesses as well. They may have international positions but are often located in small towns or villages. In this case, speaking some German will serve you to get around in daily life and getting to know colleagues and other locals. #3 If you’re interested in consulting, look in-house Consulting is a popular career choice among ESCPstudents, and unfortunately, in Germany (or any country really), the larger, well-known firms require fluency at a native or near-native level. Roles for English speakers are commonly found in consulting units of larger companies. Essentially, you have one client — your company — and limited travel, but the learning possibilities are significant. Keep in mind, though, that the competition for these types of roles is also fierce. #4 Consider start-ups and scale-ups Another source for English-speaking roles are startups and smaller businesses. “Lately, another company category we call scaleups has evolved,” said Dr. Wieandt. “These companies are startups but grow globally quickly with a lot of investor money. Here you can have excellent learning opportunities as they tend to have very ambitious growth targets and are often founded by ex-consultants and experienced business managers.” In roles like these, however, you will likely have to contend with an unpredictable and ever-changing work environment. #5 Be curious & expand your network Studying for a master programme in Germany is already a great way to get your foot in the door. Not only does this mean that you’ll eventually obtain a German degree (or have a German study experience on your CV) that is familiar to employers, but you’ll also have more chances to do thorough research, ask smart questions, show up to events, and approach and reach out to contacts. Such interactions produce connections and insights that may eventually lead to a full-time opportunity. Dr. Wieandt advises that you:
In short, finding a job in Germany without speaking German will require you to think strategically about what types of companies to apply to and diversify the ways you learn about and apply to jobs. This path will take a bit more time and effort, but good jobs are out there and they are indeed attainable. Viel Erfolg!  Dr. Michaela Wieandt Head of Career Development on the ESCP Berlin Campus |

By Charlotte Tait, MiF Recruitment Manager If you’re considering our Masters in Finance programme (MiF), the most important thing to do before starting your application is research! You need to be sure this is the best programme for you, and your future career goals. We recognise there’s a huge amount of information out there, so in this blog we’ll condense your research for you, and give you a breakdown of our unique Masters in Finance programme. What is the MiF? Our London based Masters in Finance is a post experience programme. The programme is aimed exclusively at finance professionals with a minimum of 3 years post-graduation finance related work experience. The programme provides a rich and diverse learning experience, not just from our international world class faculty, but from your peers too. The programme focuses on finance and business from around the world. Our MiF is ranked #1 globally by the Financial Times, meaning you will leave with a strong international network of recognised finance professionals. Full time or part time? We have two programmes, a full time and a part time programme. Both programmes cover exactly the same content, the only difference is the structure and duration of the two programmes. The full time programme is full time on our London Campus, and is completed in either 10 or 16 months. The part time programme is designed for students who have full time finance careers. Lectures are held on Friday evenings and Saturday all day, every other week on our London Campus and the programme takes 22 months to complete. What will I study? Every MiF student studies 5 mandatory core courses. These core courses cover the fundamentals of finance, ensuring the whole class has a solid foundation in finance. You can plan and tailor your learning to your career goals when selecting your electives. Students complete 8-11 electives, with over 59 different electives to choose from. You will study some of these electives with students from our other degree programmes, making it a great networking opportunity! There is also the option of 4 concentrations too.  On top of your core courses and electives, students complete professional and leadership skills workshops and technical skills workshops, and our very popular practitioner courses, which are delivered by finance professionals. Are there any international opportunities? Yes! We offer a range of global experiences, for both our full time and part time students. One such experience is our full term exchange. MiF students can study at one of our partnership universities, in Europe or Asia for a full term. This opportunity can expand your network and allow you to take electives not offered by LBS. We also offer a block week exchange at Columbia Business School in New York. Everyone can apply for this opportunity and it’s available throughout the year. Lastly, we have our Global Immersion Elective. This is where students visit major banking and asset management firms abroad. Go to the website to find out more about our international opportunities. Are there any extracurricular activities? There are over 75 student led clubs at LBS, with clubs ranging from professional and regional, to social and sports clubs. All clubs are cross programme allowing you the opportunity to socialise and connect with the whole student body. You can decide to be a member of one or more of these clubs, or you can become a student club leader. Some of our most popular clubs are Women in Business Club, Social Impact Club and our Foodie Club. I hope this blog has given you a better understanding of MiF.

| FROM LBS MiF Admissions Blog: 10 reasons I chose the Masters in Finance Full-time programme |
By Hao Wang, MiFFT 2022 To briefly introduce myself – I’m Chinese and I’ve spent most of my life in China before coming to London Business School. After finishing my undergraduate study, I started my career in Shanghai as a private equity analyst and engaged in global leveraged buyout opportunities, covering industrial and technology sectors. My career experience provided me with extensive international exposure, and motivated me to pursue graduate studies and experience life in another country. I learnt about the MiF Full-time (FT) programme when I had just started my first job, where, coincidentally, a Vice President was an LBS MiF FT alumna and strongly recommended the programme to me. After doing thorough research, I decided to apply for the programme, for the following reasons: 1 – A specialised finance programme LBS’s MiF FT programme specialises in finance. The programme is structured and designed for people just like me; experienced finance professionals who want to expand their finance knowledge and network, and who plan to stay in the finance industry after graduation. 2 – Varied academics I’ve found the core courses to be very well structured. They focus on fundamental components of finance and systematically deepen students’ understanding of financial theories. MiF also provides extensive elective options. Some electives cover specific topics of finance (such as private equity, distressed investing) in depth. Some electives cover other subjects (e.g. economics, strategy, and organisational behaviour) to expand students’ knowledge across different disciplines. Some of my electives are cross programme so I get to study with MBA students, Early Careers students and also Leadership students. I’ve found this to be great for networking! 3 – A diverse student body LBS as a whole is incredibly diverse. Students come from many different backgrounds, different cultures and also have varies professional experience. I have found everyone at LBS to be very collaborative. The culture at LBS has really diversified the way I think and learn. 4 – Strong Career Service I’ve found the Career Centre to be incredibly supportive. As well as two dedicated MiF career and sector specific leads, the Career Centre provide one-to-one coaching sessions and support. There are a huge number of events; from larger scale career fairs to smaller networking sessions. 5 – International exposure Whilst studying at LBS as a MiF student there are various international study opportunities. Within the programme there is Global Immersion elective, the opportunity to study a block week at LBS Dubai Campus, a block week exchange at Columbia Business School and full-term exchange at one LBS’ partner universities. These international opportunities vary in length so there is something for everyone! 6 – London location As a person who grew up, studied and worked only in China, studying at LBS has given me the chance to experience life in another country. As London is the world financial centre I have found it a great city to network and to find internship, as well as a place to enjoy beautiful scenery and an interesting history. 7 – Opportunities to engage with practitioners On top of Core Courses and electives, the MiF offers regular practitioner courses which I have really enjoyed! Practitioners come onto Campus and co-teach the elective. 8 – Flexible schedule The Masters in Finance programme can be completed in either 10-months or 16-months. The decision on how long you want to take to complete the programme can be done when you are on the programme, so there is no pressure to decide early. I’ve found having more flexibility comforting when searching for internships and jobs. 9 – Alumni network Prior to studying at LBS I was lucky enough to work with LBS Alumni who strongly encouraged I apply and supported me with my application. During the application process I spoke to numerous other alumni, and I found that all my interactions with them were very impressive. After graduation, I will became part of this truly global network with 47,000 alumni across 157 countries. 10 – Supportive Recruitment and Admissions team When I was applying for Masters programmes I found the MiF Recruitment and Admissions team very supportive. They arranged extensive application workshops, information sessions, and coffee chats. Their advice and guidance were very useful when I was completing my application. From every team member I had timely and patient replies to all my questions, and this left me with a really positive impression of them. The next application deadline for the MiF Full-time programme is Tuesday 26th April 2022.

| FROM LBS MiF Admissions Blog: 10 reasons I chose the Masters in Finance Part-time programme |
By Batin Ozkurt, MiFPT 2023 A little bit about me – I was born in Istanbul and lived there until I graduated from Saint Joseph French Highschool. Then I moved to Australia to study my undergrad at the University of Melbourne, which included an exchange year at Columbia University in New York. After a brief investment banking and a few years of research analyst experience, I moved to an investment role in the asset management industry. I learned so much by travelling and exposing myself to different cultures. The same logic led me to LBS and the MiF Part-time programme, and I tried to outline some of the reasons why I chose the programme. 1 – Network This is undoubtedly one of the most important reasons why most of us are doing this programme. A two-year programme will give you enough time to meet with people through classes or networking events. 2 – Work experience If you are already in the field and want to accelerate your career, this is the perfect option. You will be still getting your work exposure during the weekdays while going for the extra mile other times. 3 – Diversity London is possibly the most diverse city in the world. LBS is even more diverse and truly represents the city. A variety of opinions and knowledge will feed your intellectual curiosity. 4 – Financial Maintaining a salary while learning new stuff and making friends is attractive. I enjoy the idea of making progress at work while completing a Master’s degree. 5 – Excellent professors All of the faculty are exceptionally skilled. Academics are active in exchanging ideas with the business world on top of being engaged in research. For instance, AQR Asset Management Institute is one of the institutes LBS houses that supports research and idea generation within the asset management industry. In addition, the teaching method includes real-world problems such as case studies which I enjoy a lot. 6 – Guest Speakers Many elective classes are supported by guest speakers who are industry experts. It is a unique opportunity for the students. Also, Clubs organise events where you can also meet with experienced professionals. 7 – You can use what you learn right away The ability to apply things you discussed or learned at school to real work the next day is exciting. It’s easier to connect the dots regarding a topic or current event when you benefit from the diverse cohort. Different industry backgrounds bring distinct perspectives. 8 – Flexibility Elective classes come in many different formats. I prefer block week and evening classes for my electives. Another flexibility that the programme offers is the choice of electives. You can have a technical tilt by taking math-oriented subjects if you want to. I think the world is heading in a direction where technical skills, balanced with other subjects, will be valuable. The MiF offers this. 9 – Reputation Reputation is the result of the points above. Also, it is highly correlated with the success of the students. Therefore, there is a strong chance that having it on your resume will bring a positive response in the business world. 10 – Alumni It is easier to approach someone when you have something in common. There are many alumni in the City whom I can call in the future if I need them or vice versa. The next application deadline for the MiF Part-time programme is Tuesday 17th May 2022.

| FROM LBS MiF Admissions Blog: What is it like to be the partner of an LBS student? |
Moving to London and doing a Masters programme is an exciting life change. It’s typical that a student’s partner and family will move with them as they embark on this journey. We spoke with current MiF and MBA students, and their partners, to gain some perspective on what that experience is like. Behrin Naidoo, MiFFT 2022 I moved to London from South Africa, and after speaking to a few other LBS South African alumni I knew LBS and London would offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Personally I’m a very curious and adventurous person. The biggest draw for me applying to LBS was the education the school could offer, career progression as well as meeting new people from different cultures – which would hopefully help me to grow and learn more about myself as a person. I had previously considered studying overseas but never felt the timing was exactly right for me in my career. The biggest influence and support I found in finally leaving my home country and career track for LBS was the support of my partner. I know I’ve been one of the lucky few that has been able to come across with their partner. Whilst at LBS I’ve immersed myself in everything the school has to offer. From joining various clubs and societies, working with fellow students to try and start a business, as well as, making the most of networking by attending “LBS’ Sundowners” and other social events the school offers. I often get the question – “How are you able to do all of it and still have time for your relationship?” Yes, at first glance this is a very rational question, but to me the answer is quite easy. LBS creates an environment of inclusivity. If you give the school and community your energy and they will receive you with open arms. My partner has allowed me to fully integrate into the LBS community. Furthermore, she herself has become very invested. Sometimes I get the questions, “Is she also a student?”, or even the cheekier, “Am I Max’s partner?”. London is a one of the world’s great cities and there is always so much to do from cultural events, to sporting events or even just the breath-taking beauty of running through Regents Park. I would recommend this journey for anyone contemplating joining LBS with their partner. Max – Behrin’s partner Joining my partner at LBS and moving to London was one of the easiest decisions I’ve made in life. I was excited to start a new adventure and it helped that my husband and I had the same mindset about our future and the goals that we want to achieve so the relocation was seamless. I was luckily able to continue working remotely for my company back at home so this made the job transition easy for me. LBS has been so welcoming and inclusive in terms of making partners feel like a part of the community. As a partner, you can attend events with the students such as Sundowners; you can join most of the clubs and attend their talks and conferences; you can join the club events such as parties and international travel treks and the list goes on. This level of inclusivity has made me feel like I am part of the LBS family from day one. I personally decided that I wanted to be very involved in the school and I joined the Partners Club and am now the Co-President of the club. The aim of the club is to bring partners together from across all the LBS programmes and create a community where we can meet and help each other. Most partners are new to London so having a group of people who you can meet and speak to from the first day you arrive is very comforting. I’ve met amazing people from the Partners Club and made really good friends with the students who are equally welcoming and accepting. The best advice I can give someone is to really make this experience your own and fully participate in everything. The school and the LBS community has a lot to offer and if you are open and jump in with both feet, then you will be rewarded with great new friends from all over the world and amazing experiences (career, travel, events) that will change your life. Make the most of it and join the clubs and attend the events as much as you possibly can because it will make your transition to London feel a lot less daunting because you will be with like-minded people who are experiencing the same things that you are.  Manuel Dieguez, MBA 2022 When I started my MBA I was already married to Valentina. One of the real highlights of my MBA has been how smooth and open LBS has been with partners in our cohort. At LBS the question is how much do you want to be involved as a partner, not whether the community will welcome you. In Vale’s case, she’s been very much involved, both socially and at club level, driven by her own interest in pursuing an MBA. Vale was a junior Executive Committee of the Women in Business Club (WiB) in my first year, and this year she took the great responsibility of leading WiB’s EQUALL Conference (largest at LBS) alongside 2 MBA 2022s. Vale has now been accepted to join LBS this year, as an MBA 2024 student. People from other schools are usually surprised by how much partners are involved at LBS. I think there are 2 main explanations for why that is the case: Firstly, the reality is that London is generally more welcoming to partners that wish to continue focusing on their careers. That means more students come with partners, and partners naturally end up being a central aspect of the LBS MBA. Whilst other international cities might provide a similar level of work opportunities, they might limit international partners without visas. Secondly, LBS is truly diverse, and diversity means people are usually more open and welcoming. The MBA is an intense experience where you need to keep both feet on the ground and remember your life priorities. My advice is to not underestimate how important is to balance your personal commitments with career commitments. Thus, if you are in a relationship, I truly recommend having LBS and London very high on your list.  Nicolette Bell, MiFFT 2022 I relocated to London with my husband and my 3-year-old son. My husband was very nervous about moving as it meant that we would have both been unemployed at the same time. This was quite challenging particularly since our 3 year was attending nursery which is quite pricey in London, and we would have to live off our savings until my husband found a job. My advice to people who have partners who also plan to work in London, is to start looking for jobs early. We found that having an updated LinkedIn profile was very useful as recruiters would reach out directly to my husband via LinkedIn. Relocating with a partner is a life transforming experience and it seems quite scary at first, but it will change your life in unimaginable ways as growth happens when we go outside of our comfort zone. If you are interested in finding out more about our Partners Club, please visit their website. You can also read a recent blog post on the experience on moving to London by a Sloan 2022 student here.
