RBS - completed tests, shortlisted for possible AC
Citi (summer) - Tests complete, waiting
UBS - waiting, tests complete
Nomura - waiting, tests complete
BofA - waiting, tests complete
Maquarie - waiting
SWIP (AM) - tele complete, waiting.
HSBC - Rej after telephone.
JP (summer) - Tests complete, waiting.
Glencore (risk mngnt) - tele complete
Trafigura (Houston, their rotation scheme) - Fastest rejection i think i've ever received, must have been sub 15 hours.


All are for grad roles in trading (London), unless stated otherwise. I will likely add a few French banks in the coming days.

Good luck to you all.

Was HSBC tele interview technical or just competency based? Hw long did it take for them to get back to you after your telephone interview? Thanks

HSBC Completed tests
Didnt apply DB and JP Morgan this year.

Sg phone interview(competency based)

Hey, for those asking about HSBC telephone interview, it's purely competency based, and I received an e-mail like 30 minutes later to say again that I passed the minimum requirements, but that there are so many applicants that they will conduct a final review before inviting anyone to the final round.

I wrote about the status of all my application yesterday in this thread.

[henryt]

So, applied to (all Asset Management / PWM):
GS (AM/PWM)
BarWealth
Citi (PWM)
JPM (AM) - will be fast-tracked due to internship.
CS (AM)
- no response from any past doing the tests. Have a contact at MS who said they may have some room in PWM, so need to follow that up.
Also got contacted by a recruitment agency on LinkedIn regarding a role in one of the UK's largest Family Offices (am doing a third round next week).

I thought JP did not do summer internships for AM. Did you do off-cycle?

Nope, Summer. It's just a fairly small program (there were 20 of us, across both product and support roles). Which desk did you apply for?

[alex_hk90]

Hmm, I should probably start writing my CV and applying soon. I see some deadlines are approaching fast...
