Congrats on the UBS offer. Must be a nice birthday present.

Only my BNP Pariba application has gone from "received" to under review since I applied 3 weeks ago. Guess I can't even pass the initial screening, haha.

I got selected for an interactive workshop and trading game from a tier 1 bank (markets sales and trading division) at my university. I was surprised that I was accepted for this event and now I am a little bit nervous about which knowledge they will expect from me. Does anyone have experiences with workshops? Do you need any specific knowledge about it? I also can´t really imagine what a trading game can look like since the workshop is only for 3 hours. Every advise and opinion is very much appreciated. Thanks :smile:


I had a trading game workshop at my university too from a top tier bank, it was not too bad, they are not expecting any advanced knowledge of markets just a curiosity to learn, they mostly explained everything beforehand.

Last year BNP started giving video interviews in the first week of December, I think they will do the same this year.

Application closes in 30th of Nov not even sure if they are rolling?
(edited 7 years ago)
Since the GS application asks for cover letter information in 300 words (or less), did you guys still put in the whole "Dear.... my application to Spring Insight Programme... " and closing lines with "sincerely" ? Or just the information, ignoring any letter-style formatting?
On a kinda related note to the chap above is 800 words too much for a cover letter? I got a bit carried away and I'm not sure what to cut out

Why this bank? Why this department (if applicable) Why you?(What you can bring?/What differentiate u from others?)
That's pretty much it I guess

Question for the Goldman cover letter...

Since its 300 words, and they've made pretty clear they want to know about your motivations for applying/qualities you would bring to Goldman Sachs etc.. should you waste time talking about why Goldman/why programme?

Ofc usual cover letters you'd probably spend a paragraph or two talking about the company and the programme, but would you scale down talking about what they already know about themselves and the programme and focus much more on yourself...?

So for some reason Citi's application page is saying I've already applied for their spring week when I had only partially filled it in a few days ago, the ****?
Did anybody put a cover for Barclays?
Is there another stage after the UBS video interview?
