Hey guys,
Starting work this July as a 1st year ibd analyst in London at a BB. Could anyone share any insights about the allocation to teams? Are we allocated by the HR, or are we given a list that we can rank in terms of preferences? When does it happen? During training?
Many thanks.

HR should have told you....
It varies by bank
Well Chelsea and Arsenal have been the successful ones over the last few years, but Tottenham have done pretty well this season so they might be worth a shout.
Maybe choose based on your favourite colour - red, white or blue?
Citi Group Selection Process in London (Originally Posted: 11/09/2010)
How does the Citi group selection process work for new analysts? Is it still after training and heavily dependent on exam scores?
I am not sure about across the pond. However, I know in the US you preference your groups and the groups preference their potential analysts to serve on their team.
It's always a combination of your preference, your technical skills (exam scores come into play here I guess), but above all your personality.
