Guido: a new graduate who's networking with fellow alumni

"Where I am now"

I am now working for Amazon in Bratislava as a Finance Analyst for the Spanish and Italian markets. I collaborate with Amazon Suppliers in Spain as well as with internal departments and finance teams to ensure that all payments are processed in time and accurately. I hope to be in Bratislava going into 2021, but I'm also looking for opportunities to come back to Scotland soon - I miss Edinburgh a lot!

"Alumni networks have kept me close to Edinburgh"

Online alumni networks have allowed me to find alumni in the Central Europe area that I otherwise wouldn't have known about. They've also allowed me to see what other graduates from my class have gotten up to since graduation – that’s given me with lots of inspiration.

"I’ve connected with another graduate in similar situation to mine"

I’ve actually been able to connect with a fellow graduate who reached out to me via LinkedIn! We're both Spanish-speaking alumni working in the Spanish corporate sector, and our plan is to stay connected, and exchange any job opportunities and networking insights.

"The University is part of my ongoing journey"

I'll continue to connect with the University and to reach out to any alumni who move to Bratislava (so far there's only a handful of us Edinburgh alumni here!), or who I find to be working in the same sort of roles as I want to have one day. Hopefully more networking opportunities will follow soon!
