Just turn up and act like any banker - a complete asshole - and you will be fine.

Is that why you've been bitching about not being able to get even a summer internship at a legit financial institution for last xy years? Or trying to get into the ass of 3/4 of the WSO Certified Users so you can network-hack your way in?

You and you fkin fake accounts, please do not waste my time or spam this thread too... Thanks.

Go and fucking fail the AC. Go pull the class profile down. I can post on any thread I want - who the hell are you - my mum?

And you got through to final rounds and your asking if you need to know technicals. LOOOOOL Looks like your the one in need for help mate.

Please don't make me post your real-life name and details here.
I figured you out a while ago with info that some of the users before provided.
Gtfo.

You don't know anything about me. I'm not on LinkedIn (or other online websites) so impossible to be tracked down. So you gtfo.

FYI its a violation to post someone identity up but go ahead and watch moderators pull it down.

Did I mention Linkedin or something? You have a very unique profile with taking time off, switching branch of study (iirc), sad bitch story etc. First person I asked at your (target) uni figured out who you were haha.

Relax, I know what the rules of the forum are. Just putting your internet warrior ass in the place. Not a great feeling when you are not anonymous, though guy..?

 

@yesbrainer:

I asked my friend who had an AC in London at Barclays and he said the following:

  • There is another numerical/verbal reasoning test. They will provide a calculator. If you have been to the Rothschild interview its apparently the same test.
  • He said both of his interviews were reasonably technical (as he had banking internships before) but some others had more competency based ones.
  • He said there were quite a few questions about why Barclays and why XYZ group and situational questions (he said it depends on the interviewer).
  • The case study varies he said but they key is to contribute not overtake. You then present your findings individually so make sure you do listen to what the other team members say and take notes.
  • He said the e-tray exercise was similar to the Big4 e-tray exercises.

I also apologise if I was rude above but I hope this post helps a little. Good luck - hope you get the offer.

lol I've had my AC already and it has been nothing similar to what you wrote. Not sure who awarded you with SB but it was not me. The case study comment was accurate but it is general advice which any sane person would know in advance.

I'll write another post with AC details later cause this one has been ruined...

 

lol looks like charlesperry/cujo/tech is back. somebody get this man a medal for the most retarded troll and biggest life failure on the world wide web. i swear i'd be amazed if your IQ number is higher than your shoes number

poor @"yesbrainer", i cant believe that you awarded him 9x MS cujo... ruined a legit account should have been banned ages ago but i guess that any kind of trash that adds to the content amount works for WSO

@"yesbrainer" PM me his irl name please ok?

 

@animalz I did not award @yesbrainer 9xMS and I urge admin to step in to verify this. S/he doesn't have a name it was an empty threat.
