ASIA 2015 IBD SA Recruiting

Feel free to post where you applied to and heard back from regarding 1st rounds and superdays! Just thought this would be a great way to give people a heads up on when to expect the banks' decisions.

 

Sounds like HSBC recruited from this networking session they had specifically for IBD...Really kicking myself for not being able to make it, was invited but I had something on that day ):

As for Citi, I got the notification for the interviews as well. I was sure I'd gotten rejected as I applied way back in Aug/Sep...Anyone idea what this round is focusing on?

Got rejected from Nomura due to a fail phone interview some weeks ago.

@"Woozy": Did you go to the JPM IBD coffee session?

 
cloveryj:

heard Morgan Stanley started giving out first rounds... anyone received it?
Also, is it just me or that Barclays interviews were super hard???

Just curious, what kind of questions did Barclays ask you (I assume for IBD)? I am based in Europe and applied to London but my 1st round questions were completely competency based and were totally random, like 'How would you feel if you saw on the news that your firm did sth unethical?' or 'How do you feel when working with people with different attitudes to work?', I mean, come on, what kind of BS answer you need to come up with so they like you over the others.

 

Yes barcap hk Everyone I know thinks the interviews were really technicals,being grilled on valuations... I didn't get any competency question other than why barcap. Also, anyone from us received ms first rounds? Dying waiting :/

 

Does anyone know if first rounds interviews are usually given out in batches? From my understanding, Citi is offering it like every 2 weeks. What about the other BBs?

Haven't been hearing back from the companies, but might be (and hopefully) because I applied close to the deadline so takes a while to process.

 

Not sure if this helps or if I'm repeating information, but I heard that MS sent out 1st round invites to UPenn, Yale, and some other UK schools. No news from Columbia yet. Haven't heard anything from the west coast on my end.

 

Citi asked both fit (and motivation) and technical questions. But it is very dependent on the interviewers (usually based on their backgrounds and experience) . I had various types of questions from different interviewers; I am pretty sure there is no set list of questions.

Also, I felt that some of them were new to interviewing, haha, one of my interviewers was not as smooth and causal about the interview.

 

I got this account from a friend from US. He said he isn't using this site anymore and this site might be a good source to see where other people are at the process. I am actually HK-based. The timeline has been vastly different so far.

 

That's what I want to know. I heard that DB hasn't sent out first round invites to US Schools but my friend's friend (based in the U.S) got it... So maybe they are still in the process sending out?

 

Just heard back from MS for a second round Skype interview. Anyone know anything about a skype interview? I mean what's the difference between the first round phone ones, if any at all? I originally thought it would be an AC directly after first round.....

You are right on those banks who have sent out first rounds so far for sg recruitment. CS has sent out invites for their networking session but official invites for first round will only be finalized by Friday.
