Any Hong Kong FT IBD bankers can share your thoughts on how current situation will affect return offer rate for SA 2020?

Please share your thoughts. I have been unable to sleep because of this. Have been putting in my soul to get an offer an Hong Kong IBD this coming summer and thr current situation is making me feeling hopeless. Please advice. I'm going to BAML HK.

Dude, ngl to you but things are looking bad. Dealflow in my bank, especially with China, have been looking quite bad. Eitherway, calm your tits down. It's distressing, but having a BB name on your CV can open doors to many places.

Return offer rates haven't been discussed - but obviously they're going to be much lower. In particular, for BAML HK- they extended offeres to 8 out of 12 interns last year.

 
"Analyst 1 in S&T - FI" Dude, ngl to you but things are looking bad. Dealflow in my bank, especially with China, have been looking quite bad. Eitherway, calm your tits down. It's distressing, but having a BB name on your CV can open doors to many places.

What about S&T? Given offer rates were low last year, what do you think this year's return offer rates will look like? Or is it more or less the same as IBD?

 

Nope. Ernst & Young says and I quote "uncovered the problems" at Luckin. Oh yea they are gonna get sued for sure but it's not the accounting firms first rodeo so they know what they are dealing with.

What's done is done. I don't think the accounting firm will get much hit. Minority shareholders of Luckin the reputation of Chinese ADRs are butt-f*ked and for sure. From that perspective, my theory is bb banks' ADR IPO business may get hit because the demand side will weaken. Size wise? No idea.

Can confirm. My friend got an email from JPM saying the start date got postponed to July.
