Anyone had a fidelity equity research graduate phone interview heard back yet?

Hey, mind if I ask when you applied for Fidelity? :smile:

On the 25th of September, got the test invite 2 weeks later and the video invite 2 days later :smile:

Sounds cool!
I think I did the same pretty much, I did my interview on the 9th Oct though. I am pretty "bearish" on my application lol, although I am applying for the summer position, if that might be a factor.

Hahaa 'bearish', that's a nice way to put it! I did mine on the 15th so it might be that they're reviewing grads first so be a bit more bullish :wink:

. I was surprised to get the OPQ invite as it hasn't been mentioned anywhere, not even on the application process page, and I find it weird that it's the stage after the video interview (assuming that they are not reviewing the video itw alongside the OPQ).

Has anyone heard from Schroders after video interview? Done it around 10 days ago now..

I did it 7 days ago so far no reply or request to do any further tests.

I saw someone got a request to do a further Occupational test. I did not get this request did you get a request.

just a quick question: do AM firms/departments emphasize picking graduate scheme applicants with great quantitative skills??
because my major is in management and even though i have done a lot of finance modules, i am not a mathematician. i do have an A in A-level maths and 33/36 in my ACT math section. is that enough or will i be penalized for not having completed any math modules as part of my degree?

also, when applying, is it better to apply to boutiques or to big banks, from a success rate perspective? many thanks

I would also like to know about M&G. I submitted my video interview almost 4 weeks ago and nothing yet.

Yes I submitted on the 29th of September and still nothing. Not sure whether that's good or bad or irrelevant.

Well, so we're exactly in the same position. I also submitted on the 29th of September. I was expecting to hear back after 3 weeks, but I don't really know.

I submitted my M&G video 1st October and have heard nothing either, it went badly so i'm not expecting to hear back anyway. I applied to DB been invited to tests but haven't done them yet. Anyone have any tips for the Schroders sonru video interview? Read something about 6-8 questions with 2 minutes to prepare. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Which programme? I did the video interview for the Data Insights programme last year and the questions were the same from the ones I found at Glassdoor.
In my opinion, just check for video interview questions at Glassdoor for the same programme you applied for and practice them before. It will be the same or very similar.
