Summer 2017 Applications

Anyone have a rough idea about this years return rates? Have an offer for SA at a BB (CS/UBS/HSBC type) and possibly a full time offer at an EB in Europe. Trying to weigh the pros and cons

Cant you do the summer internship before starting your full time job? That way if you get a return offer you can just turn the other company down

Personally, if you cannot do the internship first before starting the full-time job (i.e. push the start date back) to see if you get an offer, then take the full-time job, do that for one year and then lateral over to a better bank if you want.

Intern conversion rates were really bad this year at most places. Barclays was <50% and Morgan Stanley was <65%.

Assuming you cannot do both, take the EB. Specially if the BB is UBS/HSBC (not a BB). With CS I'd have more doubts.

UBS is BB 100%

IBD. What do you mean with that haha?

Literally, their conversions and the reasoning behind their offer/ no offer was a joke this year! They had interns in teams and divisions that they did not even had the headcount for future grad positions..

Anyone have any insight into these "exclusive networking" events where you go visit the company and meet the analysts/MD's are these comparable to a first round etc. or what does one expect?

Depends. Most are pretty useless but I participated in a BB S&T networking event last year that turned out to be 10 5-minute chats (interviews) with associates/VPs who had our CVs in front of them. The conversation was very much like an interview and If you impressed, you got an asterisk next to your name. A week later, I got the AC..

What bank was this for if you don't mind me asking? Top 3 BB?

Cheers, they're paying for my flights over so I'd assume it must be some what intended to screen applicants.

Anyone done the BNP video interview? Could really use some help.

Not a bank it's a HF
