As some of the firms have already started accepting applications for 2019 for HK/SG, I thought it's the time to start this topic for those who are specifically interested in working in HK/SG.

Current openings: Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley (not all divisions), Merrill Lynch (only IBD) and Point72. Has anyone applied for any?

CS has started interviewing
Do you know if it's for IBD (HK/SG)? Mine still says application under review
It's for IBD in SG. An associate I spoke to said they've already started screening for names
I see, any idea on how many intake in HK and SG respectably? Heard last year there were only 12 spots in IBDHK, 6 from universities in HK/China, 3 from US and 3 from UK
how did u apply in July, when applications werent open yet?
How competitive (compared to the US) is IBD in HK/SG if you're coming from a non-target US with basic Chinese?
I would say it is just as competitive, if not more competitive. Because lots of students in HK/SG study in the top unis abroad (G5+Ivy League) and apply back in their home countries. And each bank needs to have certain spots for local applicants (usually from target schools like HKU/NUS and also PKU), which leave
Don't think they consider local schools (HKU, HKUST) as targets
Not too sure if they consider them as absolute "target schools", but I have seen as many analysts from those unis (HKU, UST and some CUHK) as from LSE/Stern
Never interned in firms in Hong Kong (grew up here), any insights of HK offices' working atmosphere comparing to London/NYC would be greatly appreciated

Any update on BB recruitment timeline in Singapore, Non-core

Current openings: Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley (not all divisions), Merrill Lynch (only IBD) and Point72. Has anyone applied for any?
Nomura I believe
Yeah Nomura has started its recruiting process
Good luck everybody. This thread should be a lot of fun for the entire week of the US Open.
Anyone currently studying in the UK?
me. I sent you a pm. am from singapore
FYI, CS does some event in their London office catered to applicants for APAC offices. They then do the interviews during that few days itself.

Will Morgan Stanley open its Equity Research role in HK/SG? Coz every other division has been opened except for ER...
Did Barclays Hongkong open applications？thanks！
Don't think so. Only FT roles are open so far.
thanks！
Not yet. They will be open on Aug 25th and super day I believe will be in early Nov..
Just have a question, are mandarin and cantonese mandatory for HK positions?
It's more or less an advantage. Not mandatory for most firms unless your role is very client facing (e.g. Relationship Manager)
they definitely prefer mandarin speakers (who are also fluent in English) but yeah it's not mandatory.
Does anyone know whether CS has started First-round interview for HK IBD? or is it still in the process of reviewing applications?
My status still says "Under Review".
Any update yet guys?
Just received video interview invitations from JPM and MS. Wondering if anyone in this stage yet? Any insights would be appreciated
Congratulation! I was invited for JPM hirevue as well, what did you apply for JPM position.

Hey, guys, I received Hirevue for MS HK IBD and JP HK IBD a few days ago! I will be doing the interview very soon. Has anyone done the interview for MS and JP for HK IBD? Any inputs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
When did you apply for both MS & JP. Did the Hirevue invite came right after application?
@cgx95 Well..it took me 2-3 weeks before getting the Hirevue invite. If you just handed in your application, you should wait. And my friend who goes to NYU Stern got the invitation as well. May I ask if you go to a target school?

Hi guys,
I am a final year undergraduate - Might anybody know how I should go about applying for IB SA positions? Or am i grandly fucked?
Start by going to their recruitment website, its never too late to start but they rolling basis so start early to get advantage
Does anyone know if there are any preferences or quotas for local unis over international ones in HK?
Not sure about the specific quota, but heard last year one of the top BB IBD in HK took 4 from HK/mainland, 4 from US (mainly Ivy League) and 2 from UK.
Thanks; would it be slightly different for markets, and what are the language requirements here compared to IBD?
Anyone received interview invitations for S&T?
Only hirevue for JPM; although I know others are already sitting on a superday
Some candidates have been fast-tracked through JPM's insight programs
Did GS send out hirevue invites already?
I did not get any interviews from GS. I go to a target school.
GS will process all applicants together after the deadline passes this year for APAC. So wait on! Source: GS event in NYC for APAC recruitment
How long do they take to send the online test/Hirevue after the submission of application? CS, BAML, GS, JP, MS, Nomura?
BAML video interview invitation. Any insights would be appreciated!

Any ideas whether these hirevues would direct to the superday or not
so my understanding is HK banks have only sent out video invitations ? no first rounds yet?
Wondered if the JPM video interview was pre or post screening? Some people haven't gotten it maybe coz of the different divisions applied? Any none IBD applicants got their interviews yet?
