HK/SIN IBD BB SA 2013
Juniors,
I thought it might be useful if we compiled information regarding the statuses of our applications for Asia recruiting. This has been done for many years in the past and I thought we could carry on the tradition.
I'll keep the post updated as everyone's results start rolling in
GS: superday MS:Superday JP: Superday CS:Superday BAML:Superday Macquarie:2nd rounds (HK,SIN) Citi: Superday DB: first round/superday Barclays: Superday Nomura: Superday UBS: Superday
All the best to everyone!
When are the deadlines for BB SA? Can you apply to both Singapore and Hong Kong?
BarCap and DB?
Yeah this is a great idea, helps to keep track of whats happening with the recruiting cycle
GS:Pending MS: Pending CS: Completed Online Test (not sure if I bombed it) HSBC: Completed Online Test (not sure if I bombed it) Nomura: Completed Online Test (not sure if I bombed it) UBS: Invitation to Online Rothschild: Pending RBS: Pending JPM: Pending Barclays: Pending SocGenL: Pending Citi: Pending BAML: Have not completed yet DB: Have not completed yet
Are these from OCR or their websites?
websites
Are these for HK or SG? Can we apply to both?
looks like you are missing several boutique houses which have Asia programs
please feel free to add your input
which boutiques have asia summer analyst programs?
delta598, were you prompted to take an online test for barclays?
no not yet, have you received an invite to take one? I didn't yet :S
nope, didnt get one as well
these online tests are fucking retarded and not very good at indicating whether or not one can work in a bank - anyone agree?
Its not indicative of your abilities at all. I'm guessing they do it to weed out applicants probably
I saw your profile and saw that you were in Barcap last summer- are you still working there?
Guys,
Deadlines for some of these are still 1 or 2 months away. Is there any advantage in applying early?
Also, some of the banks are coming to campus for info sessions. Should I wait to talk to them a bit before sending in my apps?
Last question: any idea about whether one can apply to both SG and HK? I know I asked this before, but got no replies the first time...
Don't forget that HSBC and Standard Chartered are big in Asia, especially in Hong Kong (somewhat in Singapore). Standard Chartered's Wholesale (Investment) Bank has a program in the hubs like HK and Singapore (Asia-Pac regional HQ)
Standard Chartered: (w/ availability by city) http://www.standardchartered.com/en/careers/graduates/internships.html

Anyone have interviews with Nomura HK next week?
anyone have interviews with HSBC next week?
Wait so did the interviews for Nomura and HSBC already start?
^ i will ask about this during my interview and get an idea of the timeline
bump
got raped on nomura's logical reasoning test, i feel like you have to be on crack to do well
I hear you man, fuck those logical reasoning tests, they are just stupid.
Asia deadline for barclays is over... LOL... MS and other places are mid november!
Has anyone heard from Barclays?
first round for barclays next week
barclays interview next week!
For those of you that heard back from Barcap, did you guys apply to Barcap IBD HK or SIN and when did you guys submit your app because I heard Barcap recruits on a rolling basis
I submitted it on Nov. 4th Asia Pacific time. Probably that is why I haven't heard anything...
first rounds for Normura
1st round for Barclays next week
We have two interviews for barclays phone interview? Just got contacted for an additional interview to go through our credentials...I'm guessing that its a competency interview?
I was contacted for two separate phone interviews. Are you saying that you have three?
if i haven't gotten an interview for barclays by now, should i assume dinged?
My friend has completed 1st round with BAML and got invited for superday
Dude. BAML's deadline is Dec 1, one of the latest.
Who said they wouldn't interview on a rolling basis?
Barclays first round for Singapore
never believe the deadlines
The guy was friendly but I definitely got grilled hard for Barclays. I hope I can get the superday though, Barclays is my top choice :/
We probably had the same guy - friendly, but asked some pretty tricky behavioral questions.
.
Heard back from DB have a verbal and logic online test. Said I had "progressed to the next round."
Definitely agree with you mindgravity- the guy asked really tricked behavioral questions. My interview with the associate also had a lot of technical questions, which involved a lot of grilling. Lets hope we can both make it to the superday!
on an another note, got an interview for RBS next week
.
I believe RBS outsource their first round to a third party company, where the interviewer will literally type up your answers and then your answers will be sent to hr reviewing your apps.
yeah thats what I heard, that's insane- is it more efficient though? and congrats on your interview with Citi, I'm jealous. when did you hear back and is this for HK?
tricky
no international banking
Citi first rounds!
.
HK based
Can someone post the IBD deadlines for all the BBs and other large banks please?
Anyone interviewed with BarCap and heard back?
I just got called back for a face to face interview in Chicago, said they'd be contacting with their traveling agent and the itinerary soon
Got the same call, except its face to face with 2 bankers on the 29th in NYC
sweet, mine is on the 28th, is this our superday? or just a second round interview What school do you go to btw? I'm guessing this chicago/nyc thing is based on our regions
Ya I go to a target in NYC. I don't think it's superday, the guy on the call just said it was to get to know us better and to assist in the formal evaluation program
--
Anyone had interviews for summer associate? Is it separated with summer analyst recruiting?
associate should be the same, at least it was for my bb last year
First rounds with jp ibd Singapore
man how do you find out it is for singapore ibd? I applied to both SG and HK but only got one interview for JP.
mindgravity you from a target on east coast?
first rounds with MS HK
when did you submit your app?
first round with MS SH/BJ
Seems Citi (HK), Nomura (HK), BarCap (HK), JPM (SIN) and MS (HK) have sent invitations. Any others?
First rounds for citi ibd Singapore
Ah crap, should I consider myself rejected by ms hk if I haven't heard back by now?
Had Barcp HK IBD 1st round, never heard back though... I'm on the west coast btw How did that event in NY go?
Chances are the assistant/secretary just can't reach you via phone. It's weird that MS doesn't make appointment through emails.
MS HK interviews are always scheduled through emails in the past 3 years.
it was alright, hr told me they visited sf, chicago,ny,boston and philly. apparently final rounds are in nyc in mid jan
MS HK 1st rounds JP HK 1st rounds Nomura HK 1st rounds
Macquarie status changed to "First Round Interview" but haven't heard anything from HR, does this mean I should expect an email or call from HR sometime soon?
So I went to check mine and it says "first interview complete"
how should I interpret it? I'm very confused coz I haven't heard anything either lol
same with you.
I am done with it?
Got 1st Round phone interviews for Nomura (IBD in SG, HK). Applying from the US, sent app in right around deadline (Nov 13?) and did the online tests within a couple days of that.
Because I only applied to JP Singapore and not HK
jpm hk is out as well.
first rounds with Macquarie Singapore
First rounds with Macquarie HK
haven't heard from jpm yet :( it still says under review on mine
op, havent you applied for HSBC?
No, I didn't apply there
oh no UBS either? interesting. UBS is quite strong in ECM in HK as i remember. but i heard no real openings in UBS this year.
credit suisse hk first rounds is out!
You from a target school on the US east coast? Or HK school?
me neither! I applied to both HK and SG and havent heard back
the same for Citi. 1st round with MS HK
Hey guys,
New here. Only Asia BB I did was Barclays HK and I haven't heard back yet after two first-round phone interviews. First one was bad but second was pretty good. Does anyone know if I should consider myself dinged by now?
Me too dude. FYI I'm on the west coast. I heard ppl from east coast has got some informational meeting with local bankers (not sure if that's 2nd round). Maybe we didn't hear back due to geographic location?
Doesn't bode well for me. I'm east coast.
Hey anyone from UK schools?
I haven't heard back from anywhere except MS HK first round
Hey I am from UK school as well. Done my MS 1st round on 29th Nov and havent heard back yet, hows yours? Also just had my DB pre-interview screening today.
Hi Kevinyin, Are you from UK school or U.S.? Cos I heard that DB directly screened out candidates for superdat in NY for U.S.. Thanks
1st rounds for Credit Suisse SIN
Just heard from JPM for HK SA, seems like JPM is still sending out invites for first rounds.
So it seems like GS, UBS, BOAML and DB are the only ones that havent started sending out invites...
ubs will be mid Dec as I heard from HR
Strong content to userid and sig
first round with Credit Suisse SG
DB HK will not start the process until January from what I heard.
BarCap HR said invites for superday should be sent out by mid-December. Anyone heard back?
Ok... now I'm shaking really hard. I was never invited to that informational thing in Chicago or NY, hopefully some miracle occurs. Good luck bro.
Application to JPM HK is still under review, does this mean I'm dinged? Really liked JPM, appreciate any input.
So, what about that information session? Anyone here lucky enough got invited? does it mean that ppl who got invited are potential superday candidates?
Op seems to be a beast... Barclays 2nd round already that's impressive
BarCap final rounds (??) for Mainland/HK candidates is out.
............
i know the recruiter at barclays personally. after the second round interviews in Chicago/philly/nyc/boston, candidates will be contacted in mid-december and the super day will be in mid-january, along with other banks.
Damn - does that mean if I didn't hear back after 1st round (Mid Nov) I'm dinged already?
That is what I heard at the "informational event," aka 2nd round, too.
exactly what i heard too
Honestly I'm also confused, I never expect a final round in mid-December. Maybe that's because I'm from Mainland/HK so the timeline is different.
nomura superday for SG
any oversea applicant interviewed (1st round) with barcap last week? any news?
What? You just finished your 1st round last week? I did mine three weeks ago and haven't heard back YET
yea...no news yet...I guess they wont have another informational thing before they send out superday notice..
Any one hear back from JPM HK after first round ?
Anyone know when MS (HK) will send out invites to 2nd round/superday?
Just did my JPM 1st round
just had JPM 1st rd, CS later on this week The bankers told me MS 2nd rd. should be released in a few weeks, towards late december.
Do you know if there will be 2nd round phone interview with MS, or just superday?
There will be a second round skype interview later this month and then superday in early to mid January.
MS second round out guys. Good luck.
Did they email you? I haven't gotten anything but also did my interview last night..
(Also interviewed for GCM so maybe the timing is different; I know in NYC it is pretty much the same)
well...I interviewed last week and yeah I guess they just started to send out the invitations so you should relax and wait.
Dang already?
The MS banker interviewed me this Monday said I would hear back from them early next week if I advance to next round
2nd round skype interview
I haven't heard anything after all the first rounds, starting to freak out
Did MS 2nd round earlier today - damn it was harder than the first round lol...
Anyone know if you haven't heard back from other firms like JPM, CS does that mean rejected? thanks!
Harder? in terms of technical or behavioral? I am curious.
I guess in terms of expectations and the feel of the interview - this is probably to do with that it is with a more senior banker
When did you finish your second first round interview with MS?
For JPM, the people I know at my school (east coast target) already finished first rounds. Are you based in US or UK? The timeline might be a little different.
I completed my 2nd interview on the 6th of December (to clarify time zone). Got informed in the morning and then had the interview in the afternoon.
Ahh thanks, I am from a UK target, hopefully the timeline is different otherwise :'( haha
Havent heard anything from MS since I applied!!! nor could I track my application!!!
Is this a silent rejection? I thought based on my experience and GPA, etc, I deserve at least an interview opportunity with MS...
Sad :(((
I see that Citi has already sent out first round interviews? I thought the deadline was only recently and haven't heard anything.
I think the poster who got a Citi interview is HK based, so probably timeline is different slightly?
I go to a target on the east coast and I got first rounds at Citi last week
JPM HK 1st round still going on...get the hopes up guys.
Superday with barcap! MS JPM please give me good news soon
Exactly.. same here
that was quick, i thought notifications were coming out in mid dec. are you US based?
since when MS has a 2nd round...
Ya that's what I thought too I'm US based and went to the "second rounds" - they were more like informational interviews
Got invited to BarCap superday too - but for me the informational meetings were more like serious interviews because they asked me questions non-stop.
Also got an email from DB saying that they will contact shortlisted candidates towards the end of Dec and the interviews will be held during Jan. 16-18. Does that mean there will not be phone interviews?
How technical are the first rounds?
Just got contacted for another MS interview...they didn't specify if it was a second round though And still no news from JPM ==
How many interviews with MS have you finished so far and when was the last one?
Got 2nd round from Macquarie, which is gonna be online test composed of four parts.
2nd round with MS
Does anyone know about DB's recruiting process? After the screening phone call, I got told there would be face to face interviews in February? (UK school) That seems like a long wait
I had 2 phone interviews with MS then a week later got another phone interview. Not sure if that was 2nd round.
Was your last phone interview with a senior? What did he/she ask you? Thanks
It was not with a senior Just another interview with technicals/fit questions
Haven't got any interview with CS. Does it mean I did not even pass the resume screening?
got rape real bad by MS ... guess that I am dinged :(
I know how you feel man :( Lets see how it goes, might have been on purpose a stress interview?
Was it really that bad?
thanks man. I hope so
Who has heard from DB? I interviewed online and had to take their analytical tests a few days after- have they already handed out interviews from that?
