Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“With FIG and private markets always being a super targeted aspect of banking for me, the linkedin review was firstly helpful in refining my background, but tangentially valuable in helping develop recruiting strategies going forward. I found that Andre is a very direct and methodical person, and the directness he offers is always super helpful in driving quick and decisive changes. Concluding the session, he offered me additional resources for review given his expertise, as well as further insights into FIG recruiting, offering himself for future mentorship on the technical side. Looking forward to working with him more in the future.”

“Markus provided an incredibly personalised and valuable session. He took the time to thoroughly review my experiences and help me identify which ones would be most relevant and impactful to use in my answers. He also worked closely with me to refine my existing responses, offering thoughtful suggestions on how to strengthen them, communicate my experiences more effectively, and ensure my answers highlighted my skills and achievements in the best possible way. I particularly appreciated how tailored his guidance was to my individual background and needs, rather than simply providing generic advice. The session was engaging, insightful, and genuinely helpful, and I came away feeling much more confident in my answers. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and would absolutely love the opportunity to have another session with Markus in the future!”

Based on the most helpful WSO content, the HSBC job simulation for their global graduate program involves:

Basic math calculations of market share, revenue growth, profitability, shareholding, etc.
Situational examples such as voicing an opinion to an MD, advising a friend on something dodgy, and managing a meeting with interruptions.
The assessment is not timed and includes multiple-choice reactions to specific work situations.

However, there is no specific information provided about the next steps or invitations to proceed in the application process after the job simulation. For more detailed updates, it might be helpful to check recent threads or directly contact HSBC's recruitment team.

Did you hear anything yet? I'm still waiting for any updates for sg office. It's been two weeks since my job sim so I'm guessing it's a ding.
