Unconventional Tips to Land Your First Finance Internship
In the second episode of our application-season mini-series with the LSE Alternative Investments Conference (AIC), I’m joined by Yuga Kozuki, Co-President of the LSE AIC. Yuga shares how he secured speculative roles across venture capital, M&A, and hedge funds using cold emailing strategies, automation tools, and the power of student societies. We also dive into handling pressure, reframing rejection, and using AI as a coach and mentor throughout the process. This episode is packed with practical hacks and mindset shifts to help you navigate application season with resilience, focus, and confidence. Perfect for any student exploring different finance paths and looking for fresh, actionable ways to stand out.
