** Official Investment Banking Spring Week 2014 Thread **

I wouldn't count anything less than a month as actual experience but that's just me

However I do think it is a way to demonstrate interest

I'm right in thinking that Barclays isn't going to require a Cover Letter, just a CV, yes? Looking through, it seems that is all they want when you've completed the application?

Yes, only competency questions and CV, no cover letter.

Also on the Goldman application, it says 'Please state your spring dates in the cover letter box below'. What is this referring to/mean? Thanks .

Posted from TSR Mobile

Noticed that, but I have no clue what are they actually referring to.

What are you going to put in the box then? Just leave the date off it?

Hi, which universities are in the inner circle of unis that top city firms target?
Am I right to think that they're Oxford Cambridge Imperial LSE Warwick and UCL?


Posted from TSR Mobile

Yes. But having the uni won't mean anything if you're not up to scratch as a person.

Posted from TSR Mobile

Well yeah, I'm just confirming that going to one of them is a good starting point


Posted from TSR Mobile

Yeah, that's correct. It will make securing an interview easier, but people can get complacent. Don't be one of those .

Everyone seems to be saying that Deutsche is open but I can't seem to find it. Would someone be kind enough to post a link to it. Am I right in saying that only Goldmans and BarCap are open at the moment.
