For Barclays, does anyone else just get Israel-Tel Aviv for location? I'm assuming London applications are yet to open then?



Exactly, I asume they will open on monday.

Credit Suisse says somewhere on their website to keep cover letter to two/three paragraphs, does anyone know if that would actually make a difference or not? Mines split into 4 paragraphs and around 350 words.


I split mine to about four paragraphs, and just kept it clear, brief and snappy. The tests are quite hard, much harder than the deloitte ones. I probably failed tbh haha. Speaking of deloitte, have you heard back about interview yet?

I applied to a lot of banks last year (spring week), but recieved no offers. Should I make a new user when I am reapplying this year?

Wow, you've already done the tests? Ah ok, yh mine's 4 paragraphs, around 4/5 lines long, it still looks too long atm so I might cut it down a bit more to be as concise as i can. the tests are hard? i thought they were kenexa? waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Personally I wouldn't because it just looks ridiculous if they find out. But I know a lot of people have/are doing this.

In saying that, I've been rejected before at a bank and then accepted at a later date under the same user, so I don't think it matters, at least not in that case.

Will I be disadvantaged if I apply to Deloitte around end of August? Considering they opened for apps a month ago..

depends. if consulting yes, last year they filled up their AC spots within 5-6 weeks from apps opening iirc, apart from that you should be good to go.
Is Bank of America Merryl Lynch open? struggling to tell!
Hi guys, I applied for E&Y corporate finance lead advisory. I got the e-mail saying that I passed the test and they said that

I am delighted to confirm you have been successful at this stage and we will be in touch shortly with further information about the next steps.


Does that mean that I'm gonna be interviewed?

I received the same email about 2 weeks ago (for the same division), and a few days ago I received an invitation to a face to face interview.

So I was just doing my Lazard application and it randomly decided to submit without me even completing all the questions or doing the eSignature thing..? What?

Edit: After closing Google chrome and signing out of Lazard it is now showing up as a draft again :confused:. Meh, atleast I can finish it now.

Tbf I did some research, quite a few people were saying how Kenexa can be a bitch sometimes, so who knows, hopefully it'll be ok :smile:

Oh my god, it's got to the point where I can't even remember about Deloitte, it's been like over a month since I applied there! I'm feeling sure that we'll hear this week, let's hope it's good news for both of us!

how long was the wait from numerical to critical i meant?
Is it too late to apply to Deloitte now and if I do am I massively disadvantaged or something because I applied a month after it opened? Applying for consulting btw!
