***Official Investment Banking Spring Week 2015 Thread***

Got the confirmation too! Will see you lot there

Hi everyone, I feel like I'm jumping on this bandwagon rather late but here goes. I'm going into a second year of an integrated masters in physics at Durham, dunno if this is a 'target' or not. I've not really considered anything to do with banking before. Recently have heard of spring weeks, which brings me to this thread. I want to know if anyone can reccomend me any reading material in preperation for applying, I am completely unfamiliar with the sector - so yeah ELI5. Got a first last year and 610 ucas points, so academics aren't too much of an issue - also I won a STEM scholarship last year from BP, if that's relevant. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the all the terminology etc, REALLY REALLY appreciate any help

thanks in advance.

How smartly dressed are you guys going for Bright Network? Only attending the afternoon session.

I just received the CS confirmation and I'm only in for the afternoon at the Bright Network event, who else is in the same boat as me?

Likewise. The tickets for the morning sesh have gone.

Ah man, I was limited with time this summer.

How comes you're not going to the morning session? Oh and congrats on your new position with the recruitment company!

By the time I even found out what Bright Network was, it was too late.

Thanks

Whats this steps to spring you guys speak of?

I'll be wearing jeans and a shirt. I want to feel comfortable.

what would everyone list their spring week preferences as? by firm from most preferable to least

Can somebody fill me in on this spring week thing?

Is this for the bright network event?

You're networking with professionals, you want to look relatively presentable in a corporate fasion. You have some big names attending, make an exception for one day.
