Fünf Strategien für eine souveräne Gehaltsverhandlung

Jessica Kreuzer

Gehaltsverhandlungen gehören zu den wenigen Situationen im Berufsleben, in denen selbst erfahrene Professionals überraschend unsicher agieren. Der Grund liegt weniger in fehlender Sachkenntnis als in unbewussten Annahmen: der Sorge, als fordernd wahrgenommen zu werden, der Erwartung, Leistung müsse „für sich sprechen“, oder dem inneren Glaubenssatz, Loyalität werde automatisch honoriert. Diese Muster sind menschlich.

Boardroom Lessons: Strategy & Negotiation at Solvay Business Games 2025
Anirudh Kudavelly
As Master of Finance students at Frankfurt School, we are naturally familiar with topics like valuation, financial modelling, and M&A dynamics from an academic perspective. However, applying these concepts in a high-pressure, fast-paced negotiation setting was an entirely different story.
In September 2023, Frankfurt School Community Management informed the student body about the A4S (Accounting for Sustainability) International Case Competition 2023. Hong Nhung Tran, Tobias Klinkhamels and I, Cloe De Leo, decided to apply. We believed that the A4SICC would allow the three of us to train our skills in sustainability and human rights.

Balancing work and study as a Master in Applied Data Science student
Christian Nikolov
Embarking on a Master's in Applied Data Science at Frankfurt School has been a transformative journey, intertwining rigorous academic work with real-world professional experience. It has been a journey of growth, learning and self-discovery. It’s a challenging yet rewarding path that has taught me the importance of resilience, time management and strategic planning.
I started my Part-time MBA studies in 2020. During my studies, I have been able to broaden my skills and further leverage the advantage of the FS Network in the financial industry. Ambition, determination and the support of FS Career Services have encouraged me to start a new job in investment banking during my studies.

How a working student position goes hand-in-hand with my university experience

Harshita Goyal

Having been working full-time for about three months now, I have not only learned a wide scale of new things as I kick-start my professional journey, but my mind has also opened itself to new insights that help in my overall personal development. At work, I have had the opportunity to observe how the concepts I learned about in my courses last semester really come to play in the corporate workplace.

Mein Einstieg in die M&A Branche bei Saxenhammer
Alexander Pfahl
Nach dem Studium eine Karriere im M&A: Viel Arbeit, dafür aber ein großes Netzwerk und hohe Gehälter. So der Traum vieler Studenten, die kurz vor dem Abschluss stehen. Auch meine Vorstellungen gingen in eine ähnliche Richtung. Doch wie sieht es nun, nach zwei Jahren Berufserfahrung, in der Realität aus?

My key take-aways from career workshops and individual counselling
Sascha Walsdorf-Knaus
Right from the start, I tried to attend many of the voluntary courses in addition to the normal curriculum, as I am convinced that the need for ongoing training to adapt to the rapidly changing working conditions continues to grow. Further, it is also a chance to get to know business experts through executive talks and career events.
Every year in November, Frankfurt School Career Services organizes the Frankfurt School Career Day, exclusively for FS students and alumni. This is where I got my first impression of Berenberg. The unique Wealth & Asset Management (WAM) program immediately caught my attention, which I applied that day.

People at FS: My internship at a start-up solving the lost and found mystery

Benita Schmidt

For our summer break I was looking for an internship and thought that I’d get most out of it if it is “all hands on deck” (like it is in a start-up).

Insights from a Product Specialist Equities at Berenberg
Selin Ceylan
One of the main reasons why I joined the Berenberg Portfolio Management Equities team within Berenberg WAM full-time after my Master of Finance studies at Frankfurt School was the phenomenal interpersonal skills I have encountered with my interviewers and the team members I had the pleasure to meet.
After working in a fast-paced multinational environment in Colombia, I reached important goals that generated change and added value to the organizations I worked for. However, I realized that the technical skills, corporate and institutional knowledge, and the business intuition I had, were not enough for the position I would like to have and dreamt of.
