Hi, I wish to create a discussion to try to recap the application process steps for SA programs in all major banks in London (BB + EB + others). For example, I know that GS is:
CV + 300w letter ---> HireVue ---> AC,
while JPM is
CV + CL (Optional) ---> Pymetrics + Hirevue (for all) ---> (1/2Phone calls?) ---> AC
Could we do it for all banks, from GS/MS to BNP/Nomura?
Thanks!
