After my studies at IÉSEG in Finance, I began to gain experience in the finance world. My first job was working as an accounting analyst for intercompany cash and goods operations at IBM’s European Shared Services Centre, located in Bratislava, Slovakia.

After one and a half years at IBM, I moved from accounting to consulting by getting a job in advisory with Ernst & Young in Newcastle, England. I have now been with EY for almost 1.5 years as a project analyst working on financial transformation projects, which consist of major legal reconstructing projects (mainly mergers and acquisitions) from an accounting systems perspective.

The international dimension of my current job is extremely important, since most of the clients I work with are from multinational companies. IÉSEG gave me the international business perspective, as well as the financial acumen I needed to succeed in the working world.

This has been an incredible multicultural experience for me, particularly in terms of the teamwork with international students.

Prior to coming to IÉSEG, I worked in the banking sector in Mexico. I decided to take the Master in Finance as I was looking for a program that would enable me to reinforce the knowledge I had already acquired and develop new skills for my future career. The possibility to follow such a program in a city like Paris and to interact with international professors and classmates to widen my vision of the financial services industry, also motivated me to take this decision.

This has been an incredible multicultural experience for me, particularly in terms of the teamwork with international students and the friends I have made. Furthermore, the courses were really oriented to the needs of today’s finance professionals. I am currently doing my internship in Corporate Finance for Decathlon Group in Lille, France.

I chose IÉSEG for many reasons. I know that IÉSEG provides an excellent education for its students, as evidenced by its EQUIS and AACSB accreditations. I was also confident in the quality of education at IÉSEG, as it is a partner school of the Ateneo de Manila University, my alma mater in the Philippines.

Moreover, I was very much attracted to IÉSEG’s Master in Finance course, which includes Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters training — these modules, along with the other Master in Finance classes, are perfect for the kind of career I am interested in pursuing (research or portfolio management).

What’s more, the IÉSEG community is full of international students and faculty, and for me, studying in an international setting is key to being a world-class individual. Finally, what makes IÉSEG the perfect choice is that it has a campus right in Paris, so studying here means that you will live at the heart of one of the most beautiful cities — and countries! — in the world.

Taking the Master in Finance at IÉSEG was a valuable investment for me. In addition to broadening my financial knowledge, it enhanced my critical thinking, and presentation skills via the case studies, individual and group project papers, class discussions and presentations. I also really appreciated the opportunity to develop relationships with my international classmates and the School’s multicultural environment.

The campus is situated in the financial district of Paris which also enabled me to participate in many corporate talks, mostly organized by IÉSEG for students. Overall, this has been an amazing experience.

After completing the program, I have managed to land a job in a dynamic and growing European asset management company.
