The explanation and the route in, for everyone
If you have someone in the industry, you ask them what a job really is and how people get it. For everyone else, xlookup is that someone, for every London finance job, from spring weeks to experienced roles.
Every job, explained
What the work is, the team, who tends to thrive there and where it leads, in plain words, beside the firm's own advert.
Every firm, team by team
What each team actually does, when the firm hires and what is open now, at banks, funds, trading firms and advisers.
The route in
An email when a firm you follow posts, a CV in the London format, and a coach for your own next step.
How it works
- Find Choose a level, type a firm or an area, and see every open job that fits.
- Understand Open a job to read what it is, who it suits and what to send.
- Apply Apply on the firm's own site, ready, and follow the firms that matter to you.
Free and paid
- Free to read Without an account you read the board with its search and sort, the first section of every briefing, every firm and team, and Learn.
- Free account A free account adds every briefing section, tracking, target lists, alerts and the CV builder.
- Membership Membership (£12 a month or £30 a term) adds our guess of when each team next takes people and the way in where nothing is advertised, who to write to, a pack for each application (your CV tailored, a cover letter, the form's questions answered), the coach, the questions firms ask and the whole library.
Kept true
Every date, figure and name in a briefing is the firm's own. A figure the advert leaves out is shown only as an estimate, with the sign ~. A job is closed only when the firm's page says so or the advert is gone.
