Anyone else had a bad experience with KPMG phone interview for Transactions & Restructuring? Was supposed to be with a manager in the business but got called by a woman in HR whose foreign accent was so strong I could barely understand her, absolutely no way of building any rapport, was pretty much like speaking to a machine

Got two email's 5 minutes from each other saying I have a phone interview at a set time. They were the ecaxt same but they added the month in the second email. I then got a automated 1 line email a few minutes later that they would like to recall the message. Pretty confusing as both emails have the exact same message mentioned in the recall email. Hopefuly the interview is still on. Naturally I sent an email but doubt I will get a reply.

He did no networking...


Good for him then, so where he ended up now?
I know this is a bit of a jump ahead but out of interest, does anyone know how bank bonuses get taxed? Is it done as a stand alone thing or assumed as an increase in salary? Would it be at 20% or 40% rate is basically what I'm asking?

Got through to AC stage...surprisingly quick turnaround based on the delay others have had in hearing back!

For places that allow one application each year, does anyone know if it is possible to withdraw an application already made and then reapply to another programme?

Thanks
Hey :smile:

I'm currently in my first year at uni but was unsuccessful in securing a spring week. I have work experience/insight days in investment banking, insurance, commercial finance and have attended some skill sessions and general networking events. What advice can you give me in securing a summer internship for next year?

For those that didn't do spring weeks (and those that did too!) what did you do over the summer? or what can you recommend for me to do? :smile:

As you can tell, I'm slightly nervous :lol: and am just looking to boost up my CV as you can tell :h:

Nope, don't think that's possible. I wish it was though!

For the BAML summer pre-intership; If one is sent to the 2nd stage of the application and the additional q's, does it mean one has passed the numerical?

Hi,

Apparently i've been sent some online tests to complete by SEO by Monday 30th March. No links were included in the email.
Does anybody know where to access these tests?

Thanks!

Hey, does anyone know if there are any consulting/finance or related internships still left? :smile:
Hey guys.. SWer here with a 2016 Summer final round interview IBD. What sources do you recommend I read up on, and what level of questioning should I expect, other than the motivational/competency questions.

Currently learning valuation metrics, financial strategies, industry multiple rationale

Google Rosenbaum Investment Banking Pdf, you'll find the first edition pdf no problem. Read the chapter on Discounted cash flow. If you know multiples (both comparables and precedent transactions) and DCFs you should be fine.
