Maths at Warwick so probably, although I think that course is more of an IB target than audit/professional services. I didn't think 4 working days was *that* fast lel. I've heard of people being given responses quicker- perhaps my interview game them a little pause (or maybe it was ok and I'm way too over-critical).

Does anybody really know when assessment centre dates for Mazars usually are? The email says it will be a while.

aaah just got my email now. I guess I was just being too over-critical as well hahaha

Hi guys Applied for the Finance role at Barclays a while back.

Completed the Online test Monday (3Days ago) and was invited to the Online Interview.

Just got an email saying they wont be taking my application further due to a high volume of applicants.

Firstly has anyone else got this email?

Secondly it said they would like me to potentially reconsider and apply for another role. Should i ring up and transfer to another role.

THanks

I'm trying to apply for Deloitte - financial advisory - M&A, however when completing the application form this option doesn't come up for any location. Does anyone know if I'm too late or have they not opened all of their programmes yet??

I don't think it's too late at all, the applications only opened 10 days ago! That option might come up later, I've read that there was a service line questionnaire in past years where you could pick the specific role after the online immersive test. Idk if that helps, deep breaths!

Hello,

graduated this year from a target uni however, no internships under my belt - just couldnt be bothered to apply when I was a student :frown:

now I have already applied to about 60 for grad schemes, however still waiting for the big4. No chance of me getting into front office roles so im trying for consultancy/finance

How have you managed to apply for 60. Any tips and advice on how ur doing it, I'm also applying this year, Sept 2019, and only just made a list with closing deadlines.

How is it all going for everyone. I am enjoying the new Immersive Online Assessments this year. Much better than the previous tests. The EY one was much more engaging and interesting. Got about 6 live applications at the moments with 2 interviews coming up. Got about 4 fails so far. Sure that will rise though :frown:

Do you know if all of the companies require logical tests with shapes and patterns and if they are difficult? I am ok with the numerical tests but the logical are killing me.

Anything specific to watch out for in the Deloitte test, how did you prepare other than the practice tests? You're well ahead with 6 live apps, good luck! What interviews have you got coming up?

The Deloitte Assessment was much harder than the others I've done. They'll tell you straight away if you've failed though so no messing about. They then fully review your application if you pass and I guess proceed to the next stage. I've not heard back from them yet but will let the thread know. In terms of the test I think I can remember the questions were much trickier on the text based sources they gave. It was all based on technology and I really did not find it that interesting. The maths questions are fairly simple as you got a lot of time to gather your head together and can get a good grasp of what to do. Also a lot of SJT which are just IMO vile in any graduate online tests, I find them just so unengaging.
Got GT interview tomorrow. Nervous :/

Applied to about 80 now hahaha

I've made a spreadsheet and record how far I've got through their process with dates.

I guess a lot of LinkedIn searches, top 100 grad schemes/firms, etc...

Applying to a lot of various roles within financial services so yeah lol

Just done the Grant Thornton interview. Really worried how I done. Messed up the start by just completely blanking. Recovered at the end though. I doubt it's enough. Think I did okay on the case study. I think you need to pass both to succeed.
