Explore a collaborative culture of inclusion, growth, and originality, supported by mentorship that make a difference in your life.

Our difference

  • ​​FIC offers a community for students to maximize their potential for personal and professional growth. Our collaborative, career-driven culture helps members develop skillsets that allow them to consistently obtain roles at some of the most prominent firms in the financial services industry.

  • With a heritage of almost two decades and 250+ alumni across the globe, our members have no shortage of connections they can reach out to. We pride ourselves on our tight-knit mentorship programs, connecting with our alumni at our annual Alumni Mixer and Talks@FIC events. Informally and formally, FICers have the opportunity to grow together.

  • ​As part of our Analyst Training Program (ATP), members deep dive into the fundamentals of accounting, macroeconomic analysis, financial modeling, & portfolio management. This experience is supplemented by mock interviews, interactive case studies, and career panels to maximize professional development.

  • ​FIC's close-knit nature is what sets us apart. From poker nights, to stock trading competitions, to alumni mixers, we strive to get to know each other beyond the surface. Although we come from a multitude of different backgrounds and perspectives, we let our shared love of finance bring us together in the present so we can grow together in the future.

“I joined FIC for the people—finance is a people business and I’m grateful to be surrounded by the best.”

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

  • To enhance our recruiting strategy, we focused reach outs to underrepresented groups and hosted coffee chat programs to increase opportunity for diverse individuals to learn about the FIC experience and community. Once part of FIC, we’ve exposed students to the wide array of mission-driven organizations that exist to help place students into careers.

    We’re proud to have helped students through organizations such as SEO, MLT, GWI, and O4U among others.

  • On the external front, we hosted speaker panels and collaborative events with Davis Women in Business, Davis Consulting Group, and AggieWorks to introduce FICers and students to the interdisciplinary nature of finance.

    Internally, we’ve hosted all kinds of exciting socials for members to form enduring friendships. From running Turkey Trots, to grabing drinks and receiving mentorship, we’ve created meaningful develop opportunities for our members.

  • We launched our Women@FIC resource group, a space for all female-identifying members to grow personally and professionally in their endeavors. From hosting movie nights, knitting workshops, and workout groups, the women of FIC have only become closer and developed stronger friendships and bonds.

    Furthermore, we also launched our Personal Development (PD) program, a place for FICers to grab a cup of coffee with a senior member while receiving mentorship on career, life, and anything in between.

  • We’ve always been big about giving back to our community, and this year we’ve headway in both our financial and volunteering commitments as our way of dedicating time and capital to our community. On the local front, we’ve donated canned goods and raised funds for local food banks. On the education and equity front, we are piloting a financial literacy education program with Santa Catalina School, an all-girls high school based in Monterrey, CA. We hope to continue being stewards of the local Davis community while advancing access to financial literacy for young adults.

We welcome and celebrate the different perspectives that help the FIC Community achieve extraordinary, enduring results. DEI at FIC is at the heart of our talent strategy. It helps us attract and retain some of Davis’s best and brightest. It helps us be better people and produces better results for our members. And it touches each of us.

It would be impossible to capture in this space every effort, but we are proud to share a snapshot of the work we do and our continued effort to advance DEI across all dimensions of FIC.

“I joined FIC to advance my career passions, for a place where I could grow and thrive.”
