How many applications are most people trying to get out?
I'm thinking of 15-20 or is that too little?

Did you answer their questions as per the brief or did you write and follow your own script?

Has anybody heard back from Nomura post-tests? Is it auto-reject? I've definitely flopped that damn logical. Might withdraw and go for Grad
Has anyone been rejected by Citi post interview, if so, did you get a call or was it via email?

I only did 14 so far, damn still way to go, I don't want to leave anything to October
Hey really need help guys.

Basically, I just completed one week work experience at Barclays in Corporate banking. Although I enjoyed it, I still want to go into investment banking. Pretty much, everyone liked me (not too be too cocky) and I got everyones business cards there. Anyway, the last woman I saw today is a VP and she really wants me to intern there.

Now, here is the problem. I have already submitted an application to IB for Barclays, do you reckon I should pull that and try for corporate banking. The woman also said if I have any trouble to also email her. This way next year when I go to UCL (currently at Birmingham) to do a finance masters, I will be a better position to apply for summer internship in IB after I graduate. Surely an internship this year in corporate is better than nothing?

Opinions please. Thanks

mate, in my opinion you have to guarantee this one in CB just to be safe in case you don't get IBD anywhere, and your plan for the next year sounds really good

Any1 know how easy/hard it would be to move from assurance to TS within the same big4? Would it be possible within a year?
UBS interview; any surprise questions? Or just the standard competency ones? It is for IBD.
Any one in the situation where you applied to MS Real Estate Investment Management over a week ago and yet to hear anything in terms of test being sent etc?

what division is this for? I only had to do a logical and numerical for them (which they have said I have passed) but havent heard anything since. (I applied for strategic consulting btw)


Yeah I had to do those first - then had to do the big one after. The questions are short so it takes about 30min but very repetitive.

This was for BRS in Deals (London).
Guys do banks care about your tests score, provided you pass? Can a low pass jeopardize you? For example UBS...

How long did it take for you to receive the invitation for the long one after passing the initial tests?
