Young investment banker program april 19 2015 at UCL

I thought it was awesome - a lot of the stuff you get from banks is self-serving marketing drab. These guys are independent and found them v useful. Not sure what you mean by the groups of 10 thing not being useful - where else can you practice an assessment centre with people you don't know and get feedback. Also loads of them are still working at IBs - I got in touch with the girl from Morgan Stanley; we went for coffee recently and she's letting me put her name down on my app!

Yes their insights were good, but my whole point was that it was completely not worth the money that was needed to go on it. If you think it was worth £190 or whatever it was, then you're a ****ing moron with no concept of the value of money, mate.

My university runs plenty of AC workshops which you can attend, and I have attended and they have been very useful. And the whole point I was making is that the feedback is terrible. Sure, some of them are good at it - on the first day the person watching us gave us all individual feedback which was excellent. But the second day, the guy was just like " yeah you all worked well as a team" even though we had a few arguments.

Yeah, she was good, but I think she was the only one who still works at an IB. The rest are all former employees, who have all got their own businesses now. Not to put down their achievements, they're still all incredible people to learn from, but there is no way paying that much money is worth it for that sort of experience when a lot of what they tell you, you can learn from various books/online resources, and if you go to networking events/insight days etc, you'll meet people just as good as them.

I went to the event a few weeks ago , it wasnt bad tbh however so many cocky people there thinking because they have a attended an event which you have to pay for you will become an investment banker lol

LOOOOL, that is actually tragic.

If you're an incompetent idiot who lacks any intuition then definitely go to this programme

Lol. The stuff they sell to kids, I hope you get your moneys worth. There are books out there for a fraction of the price that would give you so much more value if you are willing to put in the hours and work at it.

Please inform me what you leant via inbox and I'll shoot you over some decent books you may want to look at depending on which sector you want join.

Some banks even have free PDF's and guides that are more sufficient as an introduction.
