Depends on your resume. If they think there are elements that show you have technical knowledge they will ask you questions on it.
But no very intense questions just basic questions.

 

Do you know anyone who has received MS AC. wanted to connect regarding the application timeline.

 

Heard that some people got mail from JP Morgan regarding choices within Markets. Anyone here got it?

 

What are the steps after Job simulation? are the offers out for S&T?

 

Offers are out for IBD and S&T, I'm not actually sure what the process is I just know two of my mates got offers without spring weeks.

I believe process is job sim straight to AC but I may be mistaken

 

have done my 1st round at GS GMD and still waiting the outcome. also some others 1st rounds and some rejections (of course). What about you?

 

getting a 2nd round at MS is really great. Btw I think that this forum is the prove that Application Process is very tricky and the only way to get the role is by using the law of great numbers.

 

im talking as a student with already a summer intership at BB in my pocket and, yes, this year I got much more attention than previus ones, but still I cannot see why we should be rejected just because we dont pass situational tests (im not even complaning about numerical tests because these "quantitative" tests are aimed to test your mathematical knowledge; Im talking about situational tests where, for instance, you have to rank the answers: they are highly subjective and sometimes there is not event right/wrong answer, personally talking)

 

I also applied to every bank almost on the day the application opened. Let's see what happens next. when did you have your 1st round MS?

 

That is because Optiver has a different process. They only care about people who are quantitative enough. Their nunerical test is a better proxy for succeeding at Optiver than a bloody stupid SJT.

 

Any idea on how much time does it take after 2nd round to get AC at MS.

I have MS & RBC 1st round phone interviews today.

Still waiting for Citi BAML JPM GS Nomura MUFG DB BNP Natwest after onlines

Rejected from HSBC CS UBS Barclays Virtu Maven after onlines

Waiting on response from a few others after hirevue/tests

 

Provider is SHL.
The tests will unlock one after other. The order is 
SJT -> Behavioural / Numerical -> Numerical -> Video Interview

 

I didn't receive a mail but on the portal it asked me back in August about my choices after I completed the test.

 

Got a few friends that did MS AC (S&T) a couple of weeks ago, I was rejected after the 2nd call.

Aiming at normalizing excellence
 

Had Citi SA first round today, two interviews a 30min, first one was super enjoyable and basically just a conversation, 2nd was your average behaviorals + investment idea

 

Any opinion on Barclays (London) vs UBS (London) for Sales & Trading?
Which desks are they known for?

 

Goldman Sachs GMD SA 2023, they sent an email saying: "We are working through reviewing all video interviews. Due to the current environment and volatility of the markets, this is taking longer than expected and we aim to get back as soon as possible in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, if you have any exploding offers please do let us know. "

do you know if it's automatic to all 1st round interviewers or not).

 

Anyone heard back about BofA for Markets after the HireVue? Not sure if they started yet..

 

yeah I was just wondering as they're holding two dates for the acs for grad roles so must be interviewing a few people, and they said they would give an update but haven't heard of anyone getting an invite
