    Of course it would be very beneficial - an insight leads to a summer intership which leads to a year long internship which leads to permanent employment, well If you're that good. You should be given the dates for the AC though, if you were invited ?

    Sorry i meant dates for ICAP spring week if anyone knows them??

    That is the thung thiugh I dont really want a summer internship or employment at Icap as its broking, so am womdering whether the spring week would actually be beneficial, but wirdt case may damage my applications for S&T positions in the future.

    Icaps ac's were yesterday and next friday as far as i am aware.

    Yes an ICAP spring week would be beneficial, even if you want to get into S&T.

    No doubt there is trading going on at ICAP anyway. Hedging client exposures etc. But an IB spring week sounds more appropriate for you.
