    A Letter to Every Student Reading This

    You're not lazy. You're not behind.

    The career game is rigged, and no one told you the rules. While you're grinding through assignments and part-time shifts, a select few seems to magically know how to land internships and graduate roles.

    The harsh reality for an average uni student:

    • • 23 roles applied for before hearing back
    • • 13 interviews before an offer
    • • Most grads end up in jobs they don't even want

    No one tells you how to write a resume that actually gets read. No one explains what happens in assessment centres. No one shows you how to network without feeling fake.

    But what if that didn't have to be your story? That's why SYDC exists. We've been through the pain, learned the system, and now we're sharing exactly what works.

    Here's to doing it smarter, not harder.

    With you,
    Lachlan Lo – Founder, SYDC

    Hey, I'm Lachlan

    I know that landing your first real role takes more than just a decent WAM and joining a few societies. It takes strategy, systems, and the ability to market yourself — in a world that doesn't always teach you how and where AI is replacing you.

    In my first year, I landed a flexible market researcher role alongside 8 of my mates from school.

    Since then, I cold-emailed my way into multiple industry connections — and figured out a literal step by step roadmap that I 1000% would have taken if I could restart uni.

    Just within the last 12 months, I've worked across banking, tax advisory, investor relations, investment research — refining how to position myself with each application, interview, and networking call.

    Now, I help other students do the same.

    That's why I built SYDC — to give students the sh*t I wish I had. No fluff. No guessing. No gatekeeping. Just all the lessons I've learnt across 4 years compacted into this website to help you land your intern or grad role faster.

    Our Ask

    We're not charging a cent — but we do ask for something else in return: your genuine, unfiltered feedback.

    SYDC was built from scratch by students, for students. We're not some polished agency. This is the first time I've launched something like this, and while we've helped dozens of students land real roles already, we still think we're only 80% of the way there.

    That last 20%? That's where you come in.

    We think we're close to cracking a kind of formula — a repeatable process or "algorithm" that can consistently help students secure roles across different fields and backgrounds. But no amount of testing beats hearing it straight from the person going through it.

    So if you're willing, tell us what didn't make sense, what could be clearer, or where things felt off.

    Where did the process break?
    What would have made it smoother?
    What would've made you trust us faster?

    It's hard to improve what we don't know is broken — and we genuinely value every insight you can share. Whether it's a 30-second voice note, a sentence over email, or a detailed review — we're all ears.

    We're not just trying to help you land a role. We're trying to build something that works at scale — and that only happens with your help.

    Thanks for being part of this. Let's build it better — together.
