There is also a forum similar to WallStreetOasis called Canary Wharfian. There are lots of useful info re spring week advice, summer internships and general career tips on high finance careers such as banking and trading, PE, HF etc. Not sure if I’m allowed to post here but you can Google it and should come up
Can you apply for spring weeks if you’re a first year in a four year integrated masters course? I have an option to switch back to 3 years so technically I can be considered a first year of a three year course right?
have ppl started applying for spring weeks yet
Has anyone else noticed, PwC, Deloitte and EY haven't actually opened their corporate finance graduate scheme yet?

Absolutely yes - they're essentially looking to build a pipeline to talent for the long term so this is fine (and not as unusual as you might think).

Trying to apply to Spring Weeks at the moment but a number are asking for predicted uni grades, I'm struggling as I still don't have a predicted grade yet with it being so early on into the year. Any suggestions?

If you're super smart and know at this early period that you will achieve an overall 1st class, then by all means, put this down. Otherwise, keep it safe, and do what most people do - predict 2.1 overall. Just don't predict 2.2!
Has anyone already done the Morgan Stanley telephone interview? How was it? Any tips on how I can prepare myself?
