Ever wondered what it’s like to work in one of the world’s largest banks? Or what it is like to work at the heart of government, for a regulator or in professional services? The SPE is delighted to invite you to an evening of insight and fun where you can discuss careers with recent graduates in small groups. This event is designed for our SPE student members.
