Is there a lot of work on weekends as well or is it just long weekdays?


No, I only once worked at the weekend.

I'm guessing there are about 15-20 being interviewed? given the number of interview slots available

but could be more as some people haven't heard back


that would be great as there are only 15 places lol

they told me that all interviews would be done this week as replies have to come out next week

Has anyone got a contact number for them as my emails havent been replied to?
Reply 87
they take about 7-8 for each placement, i.e. september and march, with roughly the same number in ib and info centre (about 4 in each)
is it just one interview before being offered a place?

ahh right ok, do you know or how many do you think are being interviewed?
Although it says first round interview i think there is only 1 interview as someone currently doing the scheme said they just had 1 interview then got a call soon after with an offer. And seen as someone has said we will find out by the end of next week surely they can't expect us to come London again, well they could but hopefully not!


no idea how many are being interviewed? do u know the pay for the placement?

well that would be good then! how do you know that?
do you know how many in each division - info centre and ib?

my teacher did say that they must have whittled it down alot prior to interview and it is very possible they could offer us all a space judging by it. :biggrin:

have you had an interview? and how do you know they have to let us know by next week?

:smile:


i had it yday,
they told me they would notify me by the middle of next week, most likely monday morning
they said it's 3/4 each division for each 6 month placement

There was one gap year in M&A when i was there, interns seem to be allocated to teams with the most workload so depending how M&A picks up I guess that could go up to 2.....
