Full time BB opportunities in Hong Kong

Do the BBs in Hong Kong hire full time IBD analysts, or do they pretty much hire exclusively from their summer intern pool? Mainly interested in GS/MS/JPM.

yea it seems like most of the threads on here are talking about ny, anyone with experience recruiting for hk? i'd be interested in hearing some advice as well. thanks in advance.

 

From my own experience, BBs in HK usually take about 2 months to do their interviews (depending on how anal they are in finding the right candidate in terms of direct experience). So, if you are the first one who they interview....be prepared to down a few bottles of beer everynight for the next two months while you wait painfully for their answers.

On the other hand, if you are the last one that they interview....you would find out pretty soon. I would say around 1-2weeks time. All these I say is for an experienced recruit. New grad will probably be shorter. But then again, it depends on which BB you are interviewing with. Some are more efficient...some like to take their own sweet time.

 

my friend who was a summer analyst in HK last summer told me that a lot of the firms only have summer analyst classes of 5 people... and they recruit from worldwide. if that's the case, it sounds way more cutthroat than recruiting in the US. and fluency in a second language is almost a must, with mandarin and korean being the most advantageous.
