Thanks SA Offer !
Hi,
Just wanted to share my story...
I'm from a top target (Europe), with strong grades, but I'm so lazy when it comes to filling forms its ridiculous...
Basically I only applied to S&T summer analyst positions at :
-Morgan Stanley
-JPM 2 days before the deadline in a hurry
-DB and CS on the day of the deadline like I didn't care
Got rejected from JPM and Deutsche Bank due to my horrible answers to the small fit questions.
Still didn't hear back from CS.
Since MS application form didn't include any annoying questions, I got invited for a 1st round, which was not that hard. Got Invited to an AC that would take place 2 weeks later
Then I realised how fucking retarded I was because I neglected other applications by pure laziness, and that I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't get the offer.
I Bought WSO fit/technical guides.
Downloaded "Heard on street" pdf and Vault guide.
Followed this guide that I found extremely useful :
//www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/gekkos-guidance-part…
And basically I just put everything on hold, didn't go to school, didn't go out, didn't do anything besides preparing for 2 weeks like a crazy monkey.
-Prepared a solid answer for 25-30 fit questions following WSO guide, repeated for endless hours in front of my cat :D
-Prepared for mental maths using this site http://www.buildquiz.com/speed_math.swf
until i Got 10 stars for Addition hard and for Multiplication medium.
-Prepared for all kind of brainteaser with Heard on street.
-Prepared for the technical stuff with WSO and Vault guide.
-Made a daily summary of everything that happened in the markets during those 2 weeks
I had a quite solid knowledge of the economy and what's happening in the world so I knew how to discuss economics events pretty well.
-Tried to find 2 nice trading ideas per asset class.
After those 2 weeks my head was hurting so much that I stopped everything 2 days before the interview and just chilled out.
I went to the AC and I was so confident after that preparation that I actually had fun interviewing, and got the offer !
I realise how lucky I am, but I probabely wouldn't have been able to achieve this long shot without WSO community and its really nice guides.
So just wanted to say Thanks !
Congrats!
congrats for sure
Great story!
Best part was discovering that mental math website. I'm hooked.
I'm having a lot of fun with that mental math site.
Congrats, man. Good hustle.
Placeholder. Congrats.
This is probably the best comprehensive guide I've seen to acing the interviews. Good on you mate!
