that is madness!! citibank/merill lynch are only offering 600pounds max for interns in my country!

offtopic: is glassdoor a good place to see salaries of interns for most industries? (banking/engineering?)

Yes, Glassdoor is relatively reliable but sometimes out-dated and make sure you are searching the right position. You are best searching on various sources and then averaging it out to get a good idea.

Yeah I'm trying to get everything together in preparation for applying, anyone know when the applications for what banks open?

What uni is everyone here at? And studying what?

I don't think many people are open to saying which uni they're from. I'm assuming you're from Uni of Notts by your username? Doing econ as well, I know quite a few people that got internships and grad jobs from there with econ so you should be okay if my assumptions are right.

My question is the same though, does anyone have any idea as to when applications are opening for banks? I've been looking around a few websites for their opening date but I keep getting information on 2014 intake...getting quite frustrating now.

It's usually August for banks. Big 4 are opening very soon.

Really in two minds whether to apply for Research or IBD.. Headcount only thing making me wary of the former.

Should be generally alright if you're predicted a 2.1 Some might rule you out. Also, depends if you've got a high, low or mid 2.2.

Whichever you prefer. Although there will be less spaces for research most likely less people will apply.

Remember you saying you didn't like IBD as much as you thought you would. If that's the case, you don't want to be doing that for 100 hours a week. And while some of it is great, other parts really, really suck.

I think you should go for Research. You seem to like that more. You get to stay close to the market, great industry/company insight, build a reputation and get reasonably good modelling expertise. Plus, you have less hours but still great experience and you're likely to last longer. Don't be put off, everyone goes for IBD by default. By choosing Research, you've already shown you've thought about this deeply especially if you say how your experience of IBD made you realise what you actually wanted.

If not, I guess you can spread your apps between them.
