That working for nursery could be a lot lot more useful than what you think if you market it the right way! Interesting is mainly through EC mainly, again, very important to market it the right way to make it sound interesting.. remember a CV is just an advert

You're going to need an outstanding CV if you want to get places at Spring weeks. They're not going to select average applicants and there are plenty of amazing candidates so you need to present yourself as an amazing candidate. The date that you apply doesn't matter unless the bank views applicants on a rolling basis.


Thanks for the answer! I am actually applying for summer internships and have a decent CV (studying at a target, related experience, finance ECs, etc.) but nothing spectacular. Therefore, I am having problems deciding whether it's more efficient to apply now or in September.

And I assumed that all BBs/EBs recruited on a rolling basis.

Applying now or like first half of September wont make much difference

As a year 12 I can only apply for insight days right? I've seen a few but they aren't open yet, I guess September?

Hi guys. Was just wondering if any of you have some nice tips on how to prepare for the technical questions. I will be applying for PE and most likely S&T. Assume for S&T I am pretty well set, but how much in-depth knowledge do you think it requires of DCF, LBO etc. for a PE internship interview?

Breaking into Wall Street, WSO technicals guide, macabus, investment banking by rosenbaum etc.

You will be grilled if it's PE. One of my mates interviewed for a summer PE gig last year through a headhunter and they didn't go easy on them at all.

A lot still, but you probably won't get grilled as much as you would for PE.

Just read up on technicals as much as you can and find previous interview Qs.

What % of summer interviews are competency based?

Much prefer motivational / cv / technical interviews
