do you guys think A-Level grades mattered at all during the process? provided you have the standard A*AA-ABB grades?

I dont think anyone in our cycle will have the A* grade yet seeing as it was only introduced very recently.

those who graduated in 2010 from the sixth form could get it though, e.g. current second year uni students.
I don't know how much weighting the put on the grades but most people I know that got anything got multiple A*s in their A-Levels. I think they take it as a given that you'll be academically solid.

AAB was the minimum standard I thought?

Ah ok. Im sat my exams in 2009; might have to start converting my A grades into A*'s as it could be misleading otherwise!

Does anyone know how long it takes after the final round for them to decide? i.e. how long should you wait ? Do they usually call you within 48 hours?

They call you exactly in 21 hour and 14 minutes after you left the office.

Is there any programs of any kind, even a days experience, that are open to lower 6th students? Thanks


Yes i think Goldman and Deutsche Bank do A Level programs although the GS one may be for girls only- check out their websites, good luck.

assuming you left the office at 1-2pm, in 14 hours 21 minutes the time will be approximately 3-4am.

I have an interview with a small boutique bank coming up in their corporate broking division. Been rejected from all the 'big players' so yeah - really looking to get this one. Next year I want to be applying for equity derivative broker jobs or trading jobs - do you think experience in corporate broking will strengthen my CV for the career I hope to get into?

Thanks in advance.
Does anyone have an experience with J.P. Morgan Asia recruiting? (IBD Summer Analyst).

Any tips/suggestions/information would be very useful! PM me if you want.
