So I went down the rabbit hole and found this thread, what's it about? (I get that it's about investment banking but are you guys applying for jobs, summer placements etc. or have I missed the mark?)

it's about spring week internship placements, where you spend a week at an investment bank and see the various areas, with a potential fast track to a summer internship.

i was in your exact same position whilst i was in year 13.. and now i'm in my final year at uni with an full-time grad offer in banking. if it interests you, i'd definately encourage further research and submitting an application.

Would you guys say that markets is a more competitive area than asset management when applying for a spring week? Or are they both similar in terms of competitiveness to get in. Thanks

they are both very competitive, the difference not having enough weight as a factor to consider when applying. apply to the one you're most interested, where you believe your skill set to be more suited.

This is an odd question, but I sent off my Barclays application and didn't realize that I was going to be required to do an online interview within 5 days. I'm really busy still applying for others banks and practicing numerical testing.

Any idea what happens if you wait longer than five days, you reckon the link would expire and I can just ask for a new one, or is that overly risky?

Also, can anyone confirm how long you get after applying to complete online testing for the following banks:

Credit Suisse
BAML
UBS
CitiBank

I've finished my applications but don't want to send them off yet as I'm worried they'll only give me 48 hours to practise for the tests.

First two instantly
UBS speaking for myself within 24hrs
Citi pre-screen before sending applicants tests so literally takes ages

No idea why you wouldn't aim to finish it within the 5 days. I dont think anyone could speak from experience about not doing it. Don't risk it.

It really doesn't matter what OS you used to save a docx file. The docx format is a universal format that can be opened on any word processing software - tho of course pages can change the formatting a tad.

Last year the first LSE offers I saw were in the first week of November, so I wouldn't be surprised if a few people per year get offers in late October.

Is LSE first come first serve?
