Make sense
Got dinged just now before HV: not sure how. Score was great, SJT was fine. Recruitment is just random at the end of the day so who knows? Still am in process for other firms so I'm glad something struck.
London tests for any bank are the stupidest things to ever exist. There is nothing logical about them.
Candidates have to be eliminated somehow—I'll rather not have it EXCLUSIVELY be because I was too financially poor to attend certain universities. At least, tests can allow some levels of "merit"—however "BS" & luck-based the culture / situational judgement scoring might be—to give poor people a chance at a low-tier bank; more randomness means more hope for those who have been dealt unfortunate hands by life
Your point would make more sense if undergraduate uni tuition fees weren’t the exact same nationwide…
When you do the tests, your application hasn't actually been properly reviewed yet (think about it, you get the tests almost immediately, you really think they're that efficient?). The tests just weed out the people they don't have to properly review.
So it's not the tests that dinged you.
Anyone heard back after hirevue?
Nope.
Update here if you hear back from them please. Thank you
What questions did they ask in the HV?
Super day out first week of oct
:) thank you
Is this for summer or FT? As well as markets or IB?
Is this based on last year or from another source?
