***Official Summer 2013 & Off Cycle Internship Applications***

Just a quick question about summer internships. Can somebody explain the relocation allowance or whatever that might be? I just read my contract again and saw a line about that. So my question is basically does everybody get it? If yes, then when?

has anyone been rejected for JPM IBD (summer internship) lately?

Hello everybody,

I'm currently in the process of fast-tracking from the Spring Programs I taken part in - I've received an IBD offer from Credit Suisse and am attending final assessment centres for Morgan Stanley and Citi over the coming weeks.

Having spent time at the three, I obviously have opinions and stuff of my own, but would be really interested to hear any insight about what you all think about the three (particularly for IBD/Capital Markets), which you'd go for if you had a choice, etc. I'm not currently considering making any applications in September, but again if you have an opinion on this I'd be glad to know it.

Thanks, all the best for your applications!

Out of interest, what's your personal preference atm at why?

I've now accepted my CS offer as it was expiring on 22nd May and could get zero push-back on it to attend other ACs - not going to decline an offer and run the risk of ending up with nothing.

But in any case, my preferences were very marginal and I came out of the three weeks thinking that if any of them gave me an offer, I'd take it. People, culture, opportunities etc were great at all of them. The only distinguishing factor was that - with everything else being equal - MS was the only pure-play Investment Bank which is involved with the biggest deals, further up the league tables and so on.

Hey guys, I'll be applying for summer internships next monthish. With regards to places which ask for minimum grades so specfically kpmg and ey with regards to a c in gcse english - if i dont have this, will my application be filtered out or will it actually be looked at?

Hey all. Just out of interest how much does work experience count towards second year internships. for example if I do a weeks worth of informal work experience at Deutsche bank will that significantly improve my chances. Also is it the same if I did work experience at an insurance company or in retail during the summer?

My advice is this: Look at the week as one big netowrking opportunity. You are given access to alot of resources and people. what division will you be sitting with? Make a point of seeing as many people as possible, go over to their office in Appold street and request to meet HR. See if you can go on their intranet and look at the HR recruiting in the area you want to work in markets, IBD etc. The actually experince from these kind of things is pretty minimal, but what it does give you is access to alot of things, people etc. who at the end of the day CAN make a difference. It's just about being proactive from day 1.

Ok thanks mate. I know the experience is minimal but would the banks look at it and go wow well done for bagging it or will they be like mehhhh. Because it is quite hard to get it. How would I make it so people will make a difference with regards to my application? My grades are **** but I have lots of work experience and have goldmans on my cv.
