With the 300 word goldman cover letter, it seems near impossible to tailor it to 3 divisions so, are people keeping theirs general and applying to all 3 or specific and applying to 1/2 divisions?? sorry but i didn't bother applying to their spring week so first time im doing this lol (applying to securities, global investment research & investment management atm)
Usually, focusing on one division is better, but if you wanna apply for three divisions, don't tailor it to each, rather focus on why Goldman and why they should select you.
It seems we can't apply for LAZ unless we are penultimate year
I am a penultimate year but I believe you can apply if you have intention for masters and must state that in the education section - I remember reading it somewhere in their application guide
100000000% pointless. You have no access to any on campus recruitment and unless you're literally a GOD at networking, your CV will just fall into the void.
Visa isn't an issue though, there are internship visas available.

Does it help if you spend an exchange semester in a target US uni with on campus recruiting? Also any particular reason why all the big firms don't ask for CLs for US positions?!
would be really grateful if you could tell us about best groups in mid tier BBs and below Citi/BAML/UBS/CS/etc.
I only have snippets for IBD/S&T from people who I've spoken to over time, so it is not definitive and only covers a few groups. Truthfully, it shouldn't matter that much. Focus should be more on area of interest than what is 'perceived' as strong.

Great Post!
Do you guys know which banks tend to start / be done with recruiting the earliest? I know Lazard finished quite early last year.
