Haven't heard back either. Applied for Global Markets for MS and CS. Done MS Hirevue, yet to receive invitation for Hirevue for CS 

 

Applied for Global Markets roles for all open BB SA slots already.

Anyone know what's the normal time to expect to hear back from the BBs for SA roles?

 

Are you talking about the MapTQ test? 

For everyone else: Received CS Assessments 23/8 for Global Markets.
Components:
1. Numerical Reasoning
2. Verbal Reasoning
3. Behaviour ranking

The 3rd component caught me by surprise because its another one of those personality tests that seem totally arbitrary. Other 2 Assessments were of an expected style 

 

Heard that Citi APAC are still hosting info sessions for NA and Europe school isn't it + early app deadline hasn't passed yet? Why would they send out 1st round for SG this early :/

 

Not sure about the NA and EU sessions but can confirm that I got a first round phone interview for SG

 

Wanna know for JPM, GS & CS, their tests/games/video interviews are not auto generated?

Submitted the application about a week ago and still no response

Also any updates on Citi?

 

Ignore the JPM one.

Just wanna know for CS & GS, how long would I receive the next steps (online tests, Hirevue) after submitting the online application?

As for Citi, I heard that after submitting resume then it would lead to direct interviews already (no tests/Hirevue), how long is this process?

 

hey, you done the first round already? From my understanding of past years, MS only does the first round in mid October and can go all the way till December depending on application date.

 

Not sure if it would help anybody applying SG office to calm their nerves, but I received an email from Nomura asking me to confirm if I do not need employment visa as they have repeated rejected applications for employment pass ever since covid came along. They also advised that my application to be moved to Hong Kong if I do need an employment visa. Given that, it is likely that the SA roles would be up for grabs among the locals.

With regards to MS, the campus recruiting confirmed that further updates would be given in the coming weeks. I haven't received anything after my HireVue but I applied later into the application cycle.

 

Hi does anyone know how to prepare for ST in Singapore positions ? Like do they only focus on the APAC markets or ? where should I read news to form opinions on the asian markets ? thx 

 

Hey,

If you want to read up on APAC/SEA news (given that we are the financial hub of SEA), the usual Bloomberg would do. Otherwise, you could consider The Business Times. Also, if you are really eager to land a role in SG, you could consider reading about the characteristics of our region (being Maritime and natural resources focused)(think Wilmar and etc...) and learn a SEA language. That's the information I have gathered from reading around WSO and from the industry.

 

Could you give a rough estimate of the amount of offers you heard and whom did you hear from?

I am on track to a first class in finance and a returning Singaporean from an overseas uni. Have not heard since the HireVue. No news from my social circles for the SG office either, but that might just be me

 

Yeah, my Superday invite was yesterday, had a HR call today. They said they'd get back to us within the week or early next week!

 

Not really helpful info, just to find some homies with the same goal ;)  Did both first round tests (OT/VI) a couple of days ago, BLK with further reply (probably I'm too shit on VI, prepared too many words I even cannot recite fluently), HSBC just emailed me a feedback on OT and said I'm in review and will contact me later.

 

How long does it typically take to hear back form superdays in apac? Sg mainly

 

does anybody know if you can hear back in the next round sd if you had your phone interview in the first wave for ms hk?

 

I've already received a rejection email so I suppose there's no harm sharing (based on what I remember):

  • Standard "Motivation" questions (why GCM, why MS)
  • Market Views (I was asked specifically on the credit market, interest rates, and on Evergrande)
  • Recent interesting market news
  • Recent MS transaction
  • Types of spreads and their differences
 

To be honest, I doubt most banks are done. I am a SG citizen and from overseas uni. I applied mainly in Aug/Sept. Some bank applications are still open

Done most of the BBs IBD/GCM HireVue for SG office and have not heard back much from them. People that I know in similar situations also have not heard back. Only receive enquiries if I am interested in HK office or something along those lines

There might be some truth from the guy that got thrown MS for suggesting his from overseas uni, first class in finance and have not heard back

Edit: I might get thrown MS for this. But to encourage those that haven't receive a response or those thinking whether to apply to the SG office in the remaining days because it seems that offers are out, I am from a target, in honor society and finance clubs and topped my CorpFin classes.

Even if I miraculously don't get an offer from one of the BBs, I would have no issues getting a EB/MM/buy-side offers. So there are still definitely offers out there and just apply/wait!

 

How about we just update our information and invite others to use this link for updates? I think this thread is just getting nowhere:)

If there already is a integrated spreadsheet, plz let me know. If not why don't we use this following link that I created? At least I heard last year someone did this so everyone were quite well informed for all division.
