Pros
I really wish I knew and took this opportunity a couple of years earlier but as they say, better late than never. As someone with a keen interest but no experience in private equity, the ICP programme has had a huge impact on me both personally and professionally, as many of the skills you develop (technicals, interviews, presentations etc) are transferable. You quickly see they are so much more than just a career consultancy that help you get an internship, they are a true family that genuinely want each client to succeed, so I would certainly recommend to anyone looking to secure a role in finance.
Cons
No cons, but worth mentioning it took me a week to adjust to the workflow, so would not be surprised if some said the training was intense. Fortunately, staff and resources are on-hand so you needn’t go long rattling your brain!
