Hmm, well I guess we'll find out soon whether anyone gets a phone interview with them or straight to AC.

Now I just gotta find out what an AC is... :P

Edit: Does anyone know what kind of percentage go on to do a Summer internship if they did a Spring one?

Last year the first AC invites were RBS at the end of january! So strange that the banks seem to be processing springs before they finish summers this year...

Front Office - but i think it is same again as "IB and global markets".

Barcap are including S+T in this for the purpose of spring week.

BarCap does use phone interviews for spring weeks.

The application process is: online app-->tests--> competency based phone interview--> AC--->Spring Week (can be fast tracked to summer internship) --->You get £250 for the spring week.

This is according to HR...maybe the process has changed between November and now, or maybe Micheal XYZ is a special case.

Now changed . Read the FAQs and it says.

"Once you’ve submitted your application (which will involve uploading a one-page CV and completing the application form) you’ll be invited to take online aptitude tests. Once you’ve completed the initial testing, we’ll review your application and invite selected candidates to an interview day in London. We’ll then make offers within a few days of your interview"

so its not really an assessment ccentre like the email says. Its just an interview (potential for more than one).

Within a few days. Well, that's nice that they tell you pretty soon. :smile:

Are these just competency based? Are any technical?
