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

They call to give an offer.

I would definitely shoot their HR grad recruitment team an email. Good luck, have you got any other offers?

Thanks Morgan Stanley so far, waiting for HSBC and RBCCM (which clashs with MS btw ), interview soon with Barclays (anyone knows the date of their spring week?)

Ones starting in 4 days and the other beginning week commencing the 14th.

Very good, all the best! What's your profile, out of interest?

Thanks! Were you talking about the MS date or the Barclays date?
How about you, what offer have you got and what division are you interested in?

I'm first-year doing Maths & CompSci at Bath. My division of interest is IBD, but my plan B is technology in IB.

Barclays starts 13th I meant, not 14th.

My dream is to slave away for my MD editing pitchbooks at 1am in the morning, looking for gramatical errors so IBD is my go to division.

I'm doing BarCap, HSBC & BAML 0 IBD

Well done! You must have had a lot of preparation. I started quite late in the year so it took me quite a few rejections before things start to take off For me I don't mind being too busy tbh

Most likely if I get the BarCap one it will clash with MS as it will be the one from 13/4, so I'm very unlucky Was gonna apply soon for BAML summer - do you know if they started interviewing already?

Another reason I can think of are exit opps. If you go into s&t, you gotta be bloody sure that's what you want to do for the rest of your life because the skill set you develop is a lot more limited. Baring in mind that you will most likely be let go by your employer at one stage in ur career (the stats heavily point to this no matter how good you think you will be) (this could be through automation, poor economy, office politics whatever) you will struggle to transition into another job at the same level. On the other hand m&a/ibd I feel develops you into a professional that companies will want whatever the state of the economy (including high paying roles in industry, look at a lot of the recent CEOs and Cfos of big companies come from ibd backgrounds) or even other ibs.

Personally disagree. Exit opps from S&T are pretty strong. Knowledge of the markets (very strong knowledge if you've not been fired from your desk for being pants at it) leads you to (if you can interview well) Hedge Funds, then ofc investment management / asset / wealth management.

scuffed up BAML application

Loool I completely bottled my RBC phone interview. Anyone else get the clock and cigarette questions?

Might be a silly question, but how many suits do we need for a Spring Internship?
