They do but the policy on it varies a lot from bank to bank.

Well I graduate in summer 17 . So hopefully that means I'm still eligible for summer 17 internships , right ?

Nah. Summer 2017 is targeted towards those graduating in 2018 but you would still be able to get through the process with a lot of banks as a final year student.

Hey everyone, quick question.

So, do firms focus HIGHLY on your A-level grades and the university you study at, compared to other things like work experience etc?

Thanks in advance :smile:

It's a shocking day for Great Britain. I can't wait to apply for internships this year. It's a hard choice for me to choose which divisions I'll be applying for. I throught I was definitely going for M&A but I'm now also considering capital markets And equity research roles.
Probably narrow it down to two and flip a coin. :tongue:

Definitely on the uni, A levels need to be above a certain threshold for many firms (but iirc, GS/Barc/DB don't have those thresholds in place).

Connections > Work Exp/ECs > uni > a levels > course

Nice to see this year's thread was created already. Do you guys think M&A summer recruiting will be badly hit by Brexit?

From what has been said I believe the banks are only planning on moving traders to cities like Paris or Frankfurt. Things like M&A will remain in the United Kingdom.

Information on this are available in the FT and I have also seen an article in the independent.

Even though I hope and think they are right, I´d always take both sources with a pinch of salt.

Completely agree. I'm just saying that it's likely and some banks have been putting this into action. I believe HSBC said that it's moving 1000 Traders to other parts of Europe (most likely Paris). BNP will most likely announce movement of jobs to Paris. (I enjoy reading and watching the news )

I beleive everything I have said should be taken with a pinch of salt to quote gsbs. Some of the information these news outlets are mere speculation and some will most likely be untrue.

My understanding is so far that HSBC only has plans to move those in Canary Wharf within Payments who process Euro payments for the bank. Not sure about the others yet.

To what extent do you guys think summer S&T intern recruitment will be affected by Brexit this year, if at all? From what i've read any movement of staff out of London is speculative at the moment, but tempted to try a different route if there's a genuinely lower chance of success in S&T than elsewhere.

Any real results of the brexit vote on the industry would only take effect in 2 years time - we're still part of the EU for now.
