Good shop to start; bad shop to stay
They didn’t close any M&A if you are curious.
Only go if u have no other options
They are one of the only IB's with apps open for FT currently
are there any others besides HSBC and Nomura?
got email yesterday immediately after applying for their simulate assessment
I think everyone gets that.
Yea probably
Why did the close their AM roles early?
Did anyone get r1?
Nope did you ?
On the student room, few ppl wrote that the AC for AM FT happened last week (London office)
This is for APAC. I applied at the end of August, did the OIA a couple of days after, and took the JSA in mid-Sep. There was a division preference survey sent a week after the completion of the JSA, and a further update yesterday (23rd Oct) that there were still reviewing my status.
Don't think it's the benchmark email that is being mentioned in student room, but I'm also not holding much hope.
Did you hear back from them?
Yeah, just received an email back from them. Didn't get shortlisted for the AC (applied for S&T), but my JSA was decent enough? that they asked me if I wanted to transfer my application to another department (MO/BO role) but will have to redo another JSA. I'm not sure if I'm gonna transfer it.
They either 1) have no spots after their summer interns converted or 2) the competition is just too tough given the current job market.
Anyone get the email today for FT IB ?
Yeah got that today. US recruiting is impossible
