Sorry to hear bro. Was this after Insight 1 or 2? I've not heard back from 2 yet.

After Insight 1, never got Insight 2. They said they're going to send me another report about how to improve so will be interesting to see what that says.

Commiserations but keep on persevering. If you don't mind my asking, what has your status changed to online? I've not heard back since the first insight and I was just wondering if they forgot to send me a rejection e-mail!


I could never see / work out how to access my application online so I have no idea. Some people got rejects and others got invitations to online interview so I think they're doing them now.

Got a rejection as well. But not too bothered, a bank that does a 2 hour test without even having seen a CL or a CV is an absolute joke.

Makes it a level playing field in a way, this stupid test of 2 hours will give them a good insight into you as a person (or the super amazing friend who actually took two hours of his day to do it for you)
Anyone have their nomura IBD tele interview this week or has had it already?

I received that email as well, I got rejected too ))
If I read correctly, you can apply to different postions AND different cities for MS SA. Do you have to repeat the tests for each location/position?
Hi guys, just wondering if there's any point in applying from mid October onwards?

If for summer, I think the latest you could leave it is November to still have some sort of decent chance. For Grad end of October is the latest, but by then you would have to be an exceptional candidate to stand a chance of getting through.

Those of you who did the DB test, how long did it take before they reverted as to wether you failed or not?
As it just says this under my status

"You have successfully completed the online test(s) and your results have been submitted. Your full application is now under review by the local Graduate Recruitment Team. You will be contacted in due course regarding the outcome of your application screening." ?
I got an email from Barclays saying I got accepted to a video interview after doing business insight stage 1 but it doesn't say it's business insight stage 2. So have I skipped a step???

Also, has anyone done this video interview and does anyone have any tips?? Thank you!!
