Adil Kaimkhani CFA Senior Analyst CMRM TD Bank
It’s FSE's knowledge and efforts that helped me in choosing the right career path
I graduated summa cum laude and I was despondent with all the rejections I received. Working with FSE, I realized my lack of experience was holding me back. I got better in my communications skills and learned a great deal about risk management. As a result, I found a position with a large global financial institution.
Xueer Xu Associate Private Equity Valuations SGGG FSI.
After working with FSE, in approximately five weeks I accepted an offer for the role I was pursuing for over six months
After acquiring a masters in finance, my job offers were not within my area of interest. Lacking real world experience and engagement skills of a seasoned professional held me back. I found FSE's help critical in overcoming both these challenges. I jump started my professional life in the field I wanted to pursue longterm.

Humza Ghazanfar Manager Client Servies Citco
FSE becomes fully invested in the candidates they develop, transitioning them into roles and also ensuring they succeed
After staying in a position for two years, it became apparent that I was accumulating the wrong experience. The role development I acquired with FSE was very hands on, personally and professionally. Within a few weeks I accepted an offer for a P&L Valuations position with a global institution. In just over three years, I now work as a manager.
I do not wish to be contacted unsolicited for networking or other reasons unless formally initiated through FSE.

FAQ
Role Referral
I am a new/recent graduate. Do I need to complete development training before receiving a role referral?
Not at all. Our goal is to connect anyone interested with opportunities that match their skills and aspirations. If you believe you are a strong candidate, even without additional professional development, you are welcome to apply for any role you would like us to refer you for within our network of professionals and employers.
Role Referral
I don’t see a role that interests me. Are there other options available?
Yes, professionals within the FSE network are always seeking profiles of well suited talent. If you do not see an immediate role that aligns with your interests, you can send us your resume at resumes@fundservicesedge.com for us to evaluate and refer you for future opportunities.
Role Referral
Is there any cost associated with role referrals or fit assessments?
No, our role referral service, including evaluations and fit assessments, is completely free for candidates and employers alike.
Role Referral
What kind of salary can I expect from opportunities that FSE will refer me for?
Salaries and benefits for referred opportunities are always market-competitive and are directly discussed between the candidate and the employer.
Role Referral
Am I required to accept a role referral if I receive one?
Not at all. The opportunities we refer you for are meant to align with your skills and goals, but the final decision is entirely yours. You are never obligated to accept any referral or proceed with any opportunity unless it feels right for you.
Role Referral
Are the referred positions contract-based, permanent, full-time, or part-time?
Our referrals primarily focus on full-time, permanent roles within the financial services and technology sectors. While there may be occasional full-time contract roles, we do not facilitate referrals for part-time positions.
Role Referral
What kind of organizations does FSE refer candidates to?
We refer candidates to FSE’s network of industry professionals within the financial services and technology sectors. After conducting due diligence for suitability and fit, we facilitate the referral by sharing the candidate’s profile. The final decision on whether the referred profile aligns with the position rests with the professional or organization. Our role is to connect talent with opportunity through our network.

What does the experiential development program entail?
Our program provides several hundred hours of industry-focused training, practical exposure, and interactive simulations—both individually and in group settings. The goal is to equip participants with real-world experience, technical skills, and professional maturity needed to excel in complex roles.
Professional Development
Is there any upfront fee if I choose to pursue professional and technical development with FSE?
No. For candidates accepted into our specialized development program, there is no upfront fee. We defer our investment in your training until after you successfully secure an offer.
Professional Development
Will I be paid during my training?
No. The professional development program is not an employment arrangement. Instead, we invest in your growth by providing in-demand skills and industry exposure, which historically lead to stronger job prospects and higher compensation once you secure a position.
Professional Development
Can anyone with an undergraduate degree or higher academic credentials join the program?
Not automatically. Our professional development track is highly selective and participation is by invitation only. After you express interest, we conduct a thorough assessment to ensure you meet our criteria—such as technical proficiency, professional acumen, and growth potential.

What if I decide not to continue the training after joining?
You may withdraw from the program with no financial obligation, subject to specific conditions outlined in the terms.
Professional Development
How long does the professional and technical development process take?
It varies based on your background, identified skill gaps, and the complexity of your target role. At a minimum, you should expect to dedicate six to eight weeks to become role ready before you’re fully prepared for interviews. Beyond that, FSE invests an estimated 1000 hours of professional and technical development over approximately 18 months, ensuring you continue to develop even after you’ve received an offer.
Professional Development
What types of roles and compensation ranges have professional development candidates secured as starting positions?
Many of our candidates have successfully transitioned into roles in finance, technology, and related fields, with starting compensation packages that are highly competitive in the market.
