Introduce yourself, fellow Aussies

motionfx:

Hi all

Glad to see we've got an Aussie group now. Care to introduce yourselves?

I'll go first. I'm a 1st year analyst at an investment bank (M&A). Spent 2 years in big 4 accounting in corporate restructuring and corporate finance before making the move into IB.

Cheers!

Welcome to our society motionfx

Hi, I'm an IB/Trading hopeful studying at The University of Melbourne. Taking a BComm(Eco and Finance)/BSci(Math) double.

If you're good at problem solving and quick at mental math, you'll generally be fine. I've heard of trading desks who conduct a speed math test on all their prospective candidates and only the top get in. Plus, you can only sit the test once! Don't let me throw you off it though!

Hey motionfx and Melbourne

Overseas? Where overseas?

Hey guys,

Nice to meet you all. I'm an analyst working in a small boutique with a bunch of smart guys that know their stuff. cc_15, you know yet if you are keen on M&A or just trading?

Also people, I have recently set up a LinkedIn group Investment Banking in Australia, to connect there. Check it out here: http://www.linkedin.com/groups?about=&gid=4138511&trk=anet_ug_grppro

Hi guys,

Long time WSO lurker, first time poster.

Final sem at UNSW MFin GPA4.0 hoping to crack S&T. Currently intern in Syd (markets @ non-BB). Will be going for BB interviews in Feb/March.

Have also rec'd offers from several market-makers but undecided...by all account that tasty pie is getting smaller by the day.

Please get in touch if you can help me out/have any specific tips!

Cheers

Hey guys,

I'll be starting BComm at Melbourne Uni this year and am hoping to get into IB in the future.

By the way Mdignam, is that LinkedIn group only for people currently in the industry?

Just joined the group in LinkedIn, Michael

Hi guys, another one from Melb Uni here.

Do you guys reckon the RBS grads in Australia (and others let go by IBs), will have advanced standing due to their 'experience' over other applicants come recruiting in March? Assuming they've done internships at the same bank.

Hey guys, any of you know about the equity research scene in Australia. I'm an equity research --> Asset Management hopeful.

Cheers

Hi guys, seems no ones posted for a while, but good to meet you all.

I'm a B/BusMgmt who is currently doing a MappLaw at UQ in Corporate Law/Finance/Tax.

I've got an internship with IBM GS (Consulting) and will be starting a grad position in Big4 Accounting (Risk) come January. I've worked in a subsidiary of a bank previously in Financial Services, but don't know when I'll get an opportunity to try my hand at IBanking. Would love to get into it though.

Sorry I don't know anything about equity research though. :)

Hey all,

Currently reside in Singapore. I begin my undergrad adventure at ANU in a year's time. I'll be majoring in economics. I'm looking at breaking into AM/PWM.

If any of you make a trip down to Singapore, hit me up at ([email protected]). I'd be more than happy to show you around the "island".

Cheers!
