Deciding between trading and ibd. More inclined towards (rates) trading atm. Do you personally trade? What's your background by the way?

Yepp I've been keeping up with the expected rates hike. How about yourself? Are you interested in monetary policy and its impact on markets?

Hi, not as such. I want to go into trading S&T or M&A so I try to keep on top of everything. Like news so I can have intelligent conversation and build an opinion when I do eventually start or during SW. I will be trying Virtual trading too so maybe.

I would love to hear about your views on the markets ref: Monetary policy.

Can we apply to only one division in a single bank or can apply to IBD, S&T and others for example.

When is the best time to apply ? I saw someone saying that HR don't check the application before they finish with the summer interns one?

Doesnt really matter too much but you don't want to be leaving it late. Show some urgency.

Financial times publish a really useful book series on IB and the field in general. Investing by Glen Arnold was one of the first i read, its gives you a wide insight into the field and will greatly increase your gen knowledge on IB.

Mergersandinquisitions is good.
Efinancialcareers do some decent articles
Wallstreetoasis

Most of these websites and similar ones have reading lists. Also check out the intro to IBD thread, it's stickied and helpful.

Hey guys,
So basically, I study Engineering. I just finished my first year and thought it was about time to really start to build up a background in order to end up in Finance. Engineering being a completely different field from what I really want to do, I planned on not doing anything this summer except studying everything needed to start applying for internships next year (Which I regret now since apparently the younger you show your interest in Finance, the better it is). I've been following some free courses on the internet which are about learning financial accounting and some financial modeling.I also joined some finance-related societies during my first year. Which brings me to ask the forum what can I study/learn/do before going back to uni which would help me improve my profile for my future applications? And btw I don't have any experience on the field so I'm willing to try and give a shot to whatever you think would improve my application profile!
