You’re probably not competing against the entire finance industry. You’re competing against the part of it that everyone at university knows exists. That’s because students naturally discover firms through the same channels: societies, careers fairs, LinkedIn, job boards, graduate schemes and friends. So the same names keep appearing. That doesn’t mean the major firms aren’t worth pursuing. They absolutely are. It means visibility and market size aren’t the same thing. Underneath the firms everyone talks about is a huge ecosystem of investment banks, private equity firms, asset managers, VC funds, private credit firms, consultancies and law firms that most students never encounter. Some won’t be hiring. Some won’t take interns. Some won’t respond. But if you never discover them, you don’t even get to make that decision. That’s the problem FirmScope is designed to solve. #financetok #investmentbanking #privateequity #quantfinance #internship
