Is there a pretty uniform deadline for applying to spring programmes or do the different banks have pretty varied deadlines?

Is it possible to apply to both the IB and the Equities and FICC spring programmes?

I went on the IBD Spring Programme when it first launched in 2006 so I'm not sure if they built on that and made any changes. It consisted of two extremely packed days with some really interesting presentations & workshops etc which were useful even if you decided not to go for IBD/GS.

They definitely help out with accommodation and transport (even flights) if necessary but I don't think they'll give you an outright offer for their summer internship/grad job unlike the two-week FICC & Equities programme.

I'd strongly recommend it to any first years whether you're thinking about IB or just want something worthwhile to do over Easter. I think the application deadline is 31st Jan.

On their description, they say that these programmes are for people to 'discover' and geared towards those with 'no prior knowledge'. So are they being truthfull there? Is it really for people with practically not a clue or would a certain level of knowledge be required? Also, would the fact that an applicant is quite clued up be held against them?

to be fair, you do not necessarily need any knowledge of the industry whilst you are on the FICC/Equities program, but most of the people who got on it had at least an interest in the industry as you are likely to get asked some 'interest' based questions at interview. That said, it's not going to be held against you if you do have some knowledge.
