Summer 2017 Applications

Hi guys, do you think it is worth applying for a bank where i did not get fast-tracked after the sw last year (consider it was a place where 60% of the people got fast-tracked). Also, does jpm do tests ? they didn't use to do them for sw level but read somewhere that they do for summer.

is it useful to name drop junior analysts in an application? I know him pretty well, but not sure how much influence he will have as an analyst.

Any updates on application openings?

Goldman, JP, UBS, Credit Suisse. Any others yet?

I have already contacted HR but want to see if anyone on here knows:

I applied for JP last year (spring week). When I go to apply for a summer internship I have a form with two questions, one asking me what my predicted grade is and another question, and below those questions is a submit button. Will that button submit my application from last year (since it's saved on the system) or will it take me to the next stage of the application? There is nowhere I can find for me to change my details/CV upload etc.

Ah, their the ones I already have down lol. Literally just completed the numerical assessment for UBS.

Yes, do it. The analysts are going to be the ones sifting cvs anyway.

Doubt it, mine was picked out by a VP when I got my SA position.

Interesting, CS MD I spoke to said analysts/associates do the screening.

Maybe the recruiting task force is more broad than I thought...

The firm I'm at now has someone(VP and above) who screens all CVs from a particular school only. So someone screens all Cambridge, another guy all LSE etc. That's what a director told me but not sure if it's the same throughout the whole firm

Yeah, usually alumni of those schools..

V interesting that it's the senior guys screening CVs, thanks for the info dude

They are no longer hiring this year

What do you mean - I am very confused now and where did you get this info ?

Cause I just did not send the application but it is still there for me under "my applications ?

So do you think there is no point in sending it anymore ?

jk, but UBS did the same, opened last week but then closed pretty much all schemes apart from some IT and IBD and Ops, spoke to their HR.. said that they are not recruiting in AM S&T etc and I should look to apply for internships
