Can anyone explain what is meant by saying investment banking is more than M&A and IPOs? What do you mean by more?

Anyone heard back from RBC IBD post tests? Its been exactly 4 weeks since I sat the tests... Not heard anything yet besides 'pass email'. Clearly a bad a sign -_-

I applied to global markets but I should imagine they are similar. I applied about a month ago and I have done tests, phone interview and am now under consideration for an assessment centre.

Different division but might be a good gauge for you.


How long did they take to get back to you after the phone interview?

I'm in markets, got that email and five minutes later got email to phone interview. Not sure if it might differ between divisions..

Thank you !!
For cover letters, is it recommended to format in usual way i.e my address, banks address or is Dear Sir/Madam sufficient?

Is this referred to the virtual cover letter or a different video interview ?

Oh wait the virtual cover letter was default for all applicants with BlackRock wasn't it? My bad, I haven't heard back in that case!
Has anyone attended Morgan Stanley AC? I have applied for markets and am curious about the technical interview (what it involves), and how much emphasis is put on the paper numerical test?
Is it just me or is BAML slow to respond to applicants post SJTs?

M&A wise: remember hearing A&D & FIG are good but this is second-hand from someone last summer.

Probably useful to go on mergermarket and check in which industries they´ve had their largest deals recently


Subscription has expired that's why I'm asking

Has anyone done or got the Macquarie Telephone Interview (preferably for Macquarie Capital) - willing to swap information of some of the other interviews I have done with several banks.
