just got a call with an offer for the info centre :biggrin:
so happy, hope you hear soon and good luck :smile:


What are you studying at uni? PPE at Warwick?
Did you find out what you exactly do in the info centre cos it sounds a bit boring to me ... but nevertheless very well done to you

yeh, i need to defer it
noo not sure, basically they said we will be dealing with requests from all 4 sections so m&a, restructuring etc. and get exposure to all 4... but not too sure it sounds pretty admin based
it's just the name and exposure for the cv
thanks, you should hear soon then you'll be fine I'm sure


Thats why I only wished to do IB because Info Centre, although Rothschild may look good on CV, is mostly admin work. On the CV, you would have to write: Rothschild, Information Centre; the employer will have a rough idea of what you have done. However, you can always hype it up and make it sound much more important than it actually is. Could you please PM me the month you are starting and the salary they have offered?

Yeah well the admissions guy said at the offers open day that we're able to defer for ppe so I just need to contact them and with this lined up they shouldn't mind

they dropped investment banking in their 2011 rebrand, i read this article about it, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/8301929/Rothschild-rebrand-drops-investment-banking-after-200-years.html
and if you go on their website it says nothing about being an investment bank :smile:

It's just another, finally uniform, name for their banking franchise. You are still able to intern and work in M&A, RX, Equity, Debt = IB

im not talking about interns? i'm talking about the gap year scheme...
