hey guys, how did you answer "How does RBC differentiate itself from its competitors?" question? I don't see any benefit of repeating some BS from its website.

Does it look out of place if i don't mention first year grades on my CV, and is it ok to say 2:1 expected on applications for summer internships (do they check?). I had extenuating circumstances


you can say 2:1 expected in application since you are not graduated yet, but it looks a bit odd not putting your GPA in your CV

Just say 2:1 (expected) on your CV too
If they ask for your 1st year grade in applications then perhaps you can add in the additional info box (usually at the end of the application form online) your extenuating circumstances affecting your 1st year grades

What about Citi's numerical test? I applied last tuesday but haven't received anything yet


Same boat here buddy, applied for the same role. Hopefully, they'll get a move on this week, as i know they screen apps before sending out the tests.

lube up your *******, ready for an anal penetration. Barclays second test is... Strange. Like the first test but on steroids.

Haha okay. But what's the form of it? Only video-recorded replies to some random strength-based/competency-based questions?
Am I right in thinking that for Citi, you can apply for multiple roles as long as they are in the same division?

i.e. for investment banking, you can apply for placement, summer and full-time?

The FAQs seem to give the impression this is the case.

Take a load of **** and throw it at a fan. Thats the test.

Basically its the first test and what u just mentioned combined. ie carries on from a business situation. Can't really prep for it.

Hey guys,
I'm a mathmo going into my second year and I recently decided to apply for an IBD internship next summer. I have very limited knowledge of finance as of now so is it better to educate myself and apply a couple weeks down the line or apply now and try to cram everything in? i.e. would I get a lot of technical questions very early on in the application process?

I had 5 days to do the Barclays' business insight stage 1 and after 4 it said my time has expired?!

Does someone have the HR email address? Have been searching on their website but could not find it.

Same problem for me. maybe it's just a temporary technical issue


Same here.

Not getting that Barclays video invite either..Were my answers those of a self-entitled prick or is it simply sunday and HR is out on a bbq doing ket?


Probably both.

Probably both.


I am afraid we all didn't pass and will get rejection soon since people who got invites did so almost immediately after first test
I just completed the 2nd stage of Barclays, with the 'video interview'. The video part is only like 2 questions, with other types of questions involved. I think I probably messed up, because it was totally unexpected. If anyone wants to know about it before doing it, private message me.

Those of you, who haven't received an invite, I wouldn't worry, you will get one.
