(from semi target with an IB internship this summer & spring week this year)

Yes. I interned with a french bank in London last summer. I cannot speak any french at all.

Cool thanks.

interested in finding out more about the whole networking aspect, my uni hosts many such events but mainly from October-December. Since I'll have already sent off my applications by then, how should I go about networking?

Ask them to put in a good word for your application? Tell HR you've applied etc...

Does anyone know where one might find the names of the relevant HR staff at BB's who will be dealing with S&T applications? For cover letter purposes - or is it OK to just address it to the HR department?

Am I right in thinking that you can apply for spring weeks in second year if you're doing a 4 year degree?

I normally just say "Dear [Morgan Stanley / Citigroup / Barclays etc.] Graduate Recruitment Team"

Chances are the cover letter will be seen by a whole series of different people.

How come I have seen people participating in SW at GS when they're on the last year of their bachelor? I thought this wasn't possible.

Are you sure they are not doing a Spring Off-Cycle? They could be doing a two year Masters following their undergraduate, which would make them eligible for Spring Weeks again.

Weird things happen.

Possible situations:

- 3 year degree + 2 year masters
- Convinced HR somehow
- Degree length was longer than usual

etc
