Spring Week - Ask me anything (Q&A)

Hi guys, I have been reading this forum for quite some time and finally decided to do my first post. While I was reading through the materials, I always found the Q&A extremely useful. So although I don't have a lot of experience I thought of addressing a topic often forgotten -> Spring Weeks. I found out myself that it is really hard to find information for them so I though of launching this threat especially useful for the youngest members of this site. Earlier this year I completed a Spring Week at a top 3 (GS MS JPM) firm in the investment banking division. Just ask me anything you always wanted to know!

Yes indeed, it was in London!

Yes, got an offer!

Goldman pays, while MS and JPM do not. However, you get your costs reimbursed for flight / train and accommodation is provided.

Definitely many of people from non-target schools, although most were form the classic UK target schools. UK mostly Warwick LSE Oxford, but also people from Germany, Netherlands, Italy, and France

 

This probably wasn´t the best answer to stay anonymous. I can already tell which one you completed.

Don´t say this in a banking interview: Which superhero would you be and why? I want to be like Robin Hood, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor - me.

In Europe SW are one of the best paths into IBD so a thread like this is gonna help many prospect monkeys. The whole point of this forum is to educate people so if you don't want to read this thread don't bother people that value it.

if you are really bored you can always start a new thread "cocky associate that has the urge to make fun of less experienced people because that's how he is treated at work - Ask me anything" I have the feeling it would be a great success....
