SKEMA US: "Surreal" finance trek in NYC for MSc Financial Markets and Investments students

This spring semester, all 40+ students in the MSc Financial Markets and Investments participated in the annual Finance Trek organised by SKEMA US in New York City.

During this week-long trip, students experienced first-hand the NYC finance world. They had a tour of Wall Street, the NYSE, and Bloomberg, took Wall Street Prep courses, and visited multiple banks such as PwC, Natixis, BNP Paribas, and Goldman Sachs. They also met with finance experts, including several SKEMA alumni, learned about a wide spectrum of roles in finance and investment banking, and gained valuable insight into the life of finance professionals with thriving careers in New York.

Students were truly grateful for this experience, which they described as 'surreal'. They have just completed their last semester at SKEMA, and will soon embark on their own professional journey in the finance world. Several of them have already secured position in the US, France, and around the world. Best of luck!
