Join the inner circle.
ECE recruits students from every ESSEC program, in Cergy and Singapore. Here’s the path in, from your first afterwork to your first stock pitch.
Apply
Meet us, then apply
Come to our networking afterwork, then apply with your CV and the sectors you’d like to cover.
Animation preview: An applicant picks their ESSEC program and campus, then chooses three sectors that interest them: TMT, Luxury & Retail, and FIG. They drag their CV into the form, it is read, and they submit. The application is received, and a progress bar moves from Apply to the motivational interview, with the technical interview and welcome still to come.
Interviews
Two interviews
A motivational interview to get to know you, then a technical one on finance and the markets.
Animation preview: An applicant books a motivational interview for a Thursday at 18:30 on the Cergy campus. In the technical interview, they are asked to walk through a DCF and answer: forecast the free cash flows, discount them at the WACC, add a terminal value, then bridge from enterprise value to equity value. Accounting, valuation, and markets are ticked off. They are welcomed to ECE with a member card for the TMT sector team.
First pitch
Pitch your first stock
Join a sector team and build a monthly stock pitch. Portfolio Management evaluates every one.
Animation preview: A new member drafts a stock pitch for the TMT sector team, rates the company a Buy, and writes a three-point thesis. A price chart draws in with a target of €148, 18% above the current €125.40. They send it to Portfolio Management, whose reviewers tick off the thesis, valuation, and risks, and approve the pitch. All figures are illustrative.
