London 2021 SA

Hey, After you finish your masters in London, you still apply for the SA roles right? Does anyone know about 2021 cycle in London? I saw many 2021 threats but I guess they concern US recruitment. Any help?

My bet would be on off-cycles if you're finishing a masters but just speculating from friends. Alternatively, you could apply for SA but that would mean you would have a gap year in between your SA stint and starting FT, contingent on you being successful of course. I know for a fact HR are usually fine with doing so once you have your foot in the door but that is probably bank specific - others should be able to provide a more solid input.

 

Yeah, that's what I meant when referring to the gap year. I meant to say HR are usually chill for you start the year after even if you are not doing a masters. Namely, you are not a penultimate year which means OP can apply to SA positions even if he/she is a final year Msc student. What did you end up doing?

 

Does anyone recommend a specific modeling platform (wall street prep vs others) when applying to SA positions? Is it worth it for only an SA?
