Wow, just had one really great CS interview and one crazy one. One particular guy moved from Competency questions to intricate technical questions to talking about Formua 1 (from my CV) in a matter of minutes, I don't know what to think!

They just said to me "I'm sure you'll be hearing very soon." Not sure if they actually knew or not. Did you ask?

Just stick it down in your interests, you may get lucky :tongue:

I was kind of taken aback when he said "what do you think about Senna racing for his Father's old team?" I was like "You mean Formula 1, right?"

Wait, so they can just email you without any interview etc. and just say they are full because the people prior to you who have been interviewed have been "good enough"?

Well that sucks balls...

The last day to hear back from JP S&T (or so I was told by the HR person).

Have a feeling there will be no information today...

EDIT: Just got a call from them and I have an offer! :biggrin:

Congrats mate! I haven't heard (for IBD).

Had the RBS 'we're all filled up email' this morning. Got an email from UBS asking me to clarify where I'm applying to 10 mins ago.

I just received an invite for rbs' numerical test. Do you think that means good news for me? Which dept did u apply to?

Just received an email about E&Y Leadership Academy - it's 3 days doing 'leadership activities'. No idea tbh.

Wondering whether it would add any weight to an IBD CV?

People find these things quite a struggle to get on, if you say it is easy you just seem like a prick.

RBS or HSBC?
RBS is 5 days, HSBC is 3 days. Both are non-divisional. Which one should I go for as they clash?

Does that really matter at this stage? It's not like I will actually do any work for either. I mean I can understand if it was an internship position, but most likely I'll reapply for internships anyway so surely it's better to go for the longer one. That's my reasoning at the moment, unless someone can convince me otherwise.

Surely HSBC might fast track you to a summer internship which might lead to a graduate position?

HSBC offer a fast track - as do most spring weeks. so yeah think more long-term, RBS may well do too but then they might not exist then
