Are RBS being serious? First a SJT, then a logical test, now a numerical?

Been accepted onto the LSE SU IB Conference. Anyone with experience know if it's worth it? Considering that I'm at a uni that hosts a shed load of varied Banking / Finance events. Don't want to spend £70 on a ticket that will just be regurgitating stuff I've experienced earlier on in the year

Suit (2 piece) charcoal/dark grey/navy blue, white/light blue shirt. Tie = Optional. It matters very little tbh, just look presentable if you want to network afterwards.

I also got accepted and I just bought the ticket.

I'm at UCL so theres quite a lot of IB stuff going on where I am like you. Someone I was talking to about it said his brother went to it last year or something and apparently its definitely worth it.

Varies hugely. I went to one where they stated before that it was business casual and there were people turning up in chinos and jumpers. But then a GS one I went to didn't say anything about dress code and everyone made a huge effort to dress up.

defo agree with the matters little, not sure about wearing a suit for an hour long event, makes you stick out and a banker doesn't really want to see a keeno like that at the end of a long day I think. Casual smart is absolutely the right way

That's good, we've only just had all the banks come in today for the careers fair. Everyone there said any time in November is fine as well, however I'm not too sure I'll wait that long. How are the applications going for you? Any chance you could tell me what I'm in store for with the places you've already applied to?
