Wall Street Oasis

Three months before starting his new job, Luke's offer was rescinded. He had already graduated—and turned down his investment banking return offer. Suddenly, he had nothing.

In this episode, Luke shares how he rebuilt from zero, leaned heavily into networking, and ultimately landed an equity research role at Redburn Atlantic, now part of Rothschild & Co.
From studying at LSE and Imperial to exploring investment banking and consulting, Luke breaks down his unconventional path into equity research, the coffee chat that changed everything, and the lessons he learned along the way.
Whether you're pursuing equity research, investment banking, consulting, or another competitive finance career, this episode offers a real look at how persistence, networking, and taking calculated career risks can pay off.
