Question about managing every interview
Hey guys I'm about to enter my junior year and am trying to learn as much as possible about the upcoming SA interview process.
I know many of you guys apply to numerous banks in different locations. How do you guys manage them all if you don't live in the desired location of the bank addition to school?
Say if you had about 10 or more interviews in New York and London, would you be flying back and forth between your current residence, New York, and London all the while managing a heavy course load? It seems to me that your grades would suffer from being gone a good chunk of the term traveling and that costs would be very expensive for flight+hotel etc.
Somebody please explain how you manage to do everything.
Thanks
the top tier firms will generally pay for your travel and lodging costs, but its true for the most part you will be spending a little more than you normally would just because of random travel costs. if you are interviewing with a smaller place, make sure to ask if they are covering these costs -- do not just assume that is the case.
As far as heavy course loads go, yes your grades will suffer. If you are confident you can pull a SA gig in the winter though, take it easy Fall term so you aren't networking/studying for interviews on top of taking too many finals.
Hope that helps.
As "ambione" stated big firms will pay for your travel. And if you go to school in the US you will interview in the US (even for UK positions, or at least this has been my experience). First round interviews will be on campus (or over the phone if the firm doesn't attend OCR) and then usually final rounds are in NYC (or the US HQ for that firm). So 10 final interviews sounds like a lot, but you will probably have 5-8 depending on your GPA, school, resume, etc.
dont worry about ur grades, ace the interview and get the job first.. cause usually once u get the job, results is secondary (provided that you dont fail or ur gpa drops massively)
