Motivational Yap 🗣️

Society will say you can’t go for anything you want in life.

I say f*ck that! Take me for example…

• Born & raised in a low socio-economic area (Peckham)

• Left college with below-average A-level grades

• Attended a low-ranked non-russell group uni

• I didn’t do any internships during uni

• No rich parents with connections

• I’m black & have dreadlocks

• I have piercings & tattoos

• blah blah blah

I don’t meet any of the typical requirements for success on paper.

Yet I’ve…

1. Started my career in Fintech

   ↳ For the largest industry player
   

2. Pivoted into Consulting

   ↳ With no insight into the industry

3. Dabbled in Private Equity

   ↳ With no prior experience
   

4. Worked in Asset Management

   ↳ Securing a 141% pay rise
   

5. Quit my job to start a business

   ↳ Made more than my 9-5 salary

I've simply...

• Ignored the noise

• Put it in the work

• Had some audacity

And just let the rest work itself out.

I started Beyond Education to help people of colour and individuals from underrepresented backgrounds access career opportunities.

People who don’t meet society’s typical requirements for success.

In a world where society tells you that statistically, you can’t make it…

Be an anomaly ⚡️

And now is the perfect time to put this motivational yap into action.

We’ve just gone live with over 200 job opportunities in Finance, Tech, HR, Compliance and a bunch of other departments.
