I think someone has got interview invitation for MS IBD SA.
got the interview invitation already. anyone hear back from any other firms? thx.
Just got a call from MS asking if I would choose NY office over HK.
Got a phone interview for SocGen S&T. No replies from any of the others.
GS have given out some accelerated interviews.
Anyone knows other updates?
seriously? GS has AP in APAC?
I love WSO... this forum is simply awesome....lol
Rossgs210, no you fucking retarded fob...the Einstein in front of you mistakenly referred US AP.
Another BB has sent out their invites for first round. Has anyone heard from GS?
Is it looked down upon to apply to both the NYC and HK offices?
^ Yes, you can end up with neither.
In regards to applying to two locations I've always been told it's fine but they expect you to select just one after the first round interview. This is in the context of NYC vs Houston though. May be different internationally.
anyone heard back from CS or ML?
all under review....any one heard back from citi?
.
Bumping you up
has anyone heard back from BoAML?
dont think so, though they started the process pretty early in the past few years.
some of my friends got macquarie...
this is a BB thread.
anyone heard back from CS?
Phone interview finished with Barcap S&T Not heard from others...
Anyone heard something for S&T?
i havnt heard back from JPM nor MS, does it mean I already got screened out?
rossgs210, did you hear back from MS?
I was told after my first round interview with MS last weekend that they might let us know by the end of this week for second round...
did you interview in person or over the phone w/ ms?
bump ni ma de up
kao

hi guys anyone received a first round invite for barcap ibd? mine seems to be a skype interview... with an avp. is this normal?? i would've thought it would be a phone interview with analysts/associates
just heard back from gs beijing even though i applied to gs hong kong. is this normal?
had first round w/ ms, still waiting on everything else...
BoAML invite first round HK for S&T
updated
gnalk, have you had this alraedy? was it mostly fit or pretty technical?
rossgs: just wondering did you apply well before the deadline?
barcap ibd is out -- skype interview as well
when did you guys hear from citi?
does it look bad to apply to many different locations for the same BB (all IB tho, not IB and then CM and S&T)
ex: UBS LA UBS San Fran healthcare UBS NY financial sponsors group UBS Chicago
my thought, would just increase my chances for all these different groups applying to, but now might show im not stable or dnt knw what i want? truth is, il work in a basement if i learn M&A from a BB IB, so ya i dnt care where i am, i just want the experience!

when did you apply?
my OCR resume drop was due last night before midnight. if you did through campus recruitment, how long did you wait to hear back?
heard back from credit suisse ibd
when did you apply?
last day of deadline back in mid nov.
Did anyone else besides non-target BB Banker hear back?
So what banks have reached out?
GS, MS, BAML, CS??
What banks are we all still waiting on?
DB, Citi?
did interview with barcap SNT, and socgen SNT last week. any news on ACs coming up?
got invite for GS SNT but the team never called within specified time lol... wtf?
So what are you going to do? Did you get it rescheduled?
an associate emailed me rescheduling it.
btw, UBS said will let people know by mid-December. so anytime now...
do you guys know if different divisions get recruited via separate methods? and then all applicants pooled together for Superday?
Yes, as far as I know, recruiting is separate for different divisions.
Has anyone heard back from JPM???? I have interviewed with Goldman MS and CS but still haven't heard anything from JPM! I am wondering if anyone here got first round in recent few days?
Submitted my Barcap and Citi asia apps on November 29. Both still say "still under consideration". I see ppl have been getting 1st rounds..Anybody know what that means for me? Rejected?? Waitlisted? Or still hope for a 1st round interview?

i think they're still giving out interviews.my friend got a CS interview two weeks before i was notified of mine. so hang in there :) maybe in the next couple of days
but barcap interviewer did say that they're going to notify of second round by early next week.
Awesome thanks for letting me know. Still kinda weird how my app is still under consideration though......was wondering if you can let me know what was asked in the interview and how it went. can you pm me or reply? thanks!
Did anyone hear something after Barcap S&T first round?
Has anyone heard back from JPM???? I have interviewed with Goldman MS and CS but still haven't heard anything from JPM! I am wondering if anyone here got first round in recent few days? Bummmmp
BUMP* Same. I'm wondering the same.
So does it mean if you didn't hear for 1st round, you are out of luck?
i heard JPM has already done first round, even singapore is doing second round already
has anyone heard from ubs, citi, baml or deutsche yet? i know citi's deadline was monday but ubs' deadline was like a month ago....
hey moose i emailed ubs on monday asking what's up and they said that they'll get the shortlist out by mid-dec
For all of you guys who haven't gotten a 1st round interview yet:
When you log into your application, do you see that you got rejected or do you see that "your app is under consideration" Because all of my apps are still under consideration...
i heard that some statuses stay like that even after offers are out. i'm guessing the banks aren't very good at changing those...
btw, do you guys know how many rounds the interviews are? just first round and super day or is there an extra round in between?
I think first round and then super day. By the way, how much time does a typical analyst spend on building models in locations like Hong Kong comparing to places like London NY or Singapore?
according to my interviewer the barcap superday is next for successful ppl who made it after telephone interview.
Haha agreed. I don't think that's a good indication of where you stand.
my recruiting season has been a total failure so far. good luck everyone.
Quick question when did you submit your barcap app and when did they notify you about that 1st round interview??
Sorry to hear that. But it's too early to give up just yet. There are still some good banks that haven't reached out, at least I am not aware.
hang in there, totally know what you mean haha, i check my emails at like 6am and then go back to sleep all this week haha
can i also ask if you guys are all from north american/UK target schools? anybody done an ib gig before? i did SNT last year.
rossgs210 i feel you man......
i havnt heard from any banks yet..
to: algorhythm
I did go to a big target (Top 5 IVY) and yes I did a investment banking internship at a Middle market at my sophomore year.... but obviously still JPM does not give me a shit although I got other big banks interviews... I am 100% made in China and does not have any connection either
So I guess its over for me and Asia summer IBD at MS, GS, Barcap, and Citi. Lol what a fail. I was hoping for just one 1 1st round phone interview.........
Good luck to everyone else though
has anyone been invited to GS snt first round?
boa ml is out...my friend did first round
did your friend do IBD or SNT?
ibd
if anybody/anybody's friend did GS snt already please let me know. the team still hasnt called loll
just got invited to barcap ac (superday).
my sign up options for telephone interview (assuming candidates are in a batch) was either dec. 2, dec. 6, or dec. 7.
i picked dec. 2, got a confirmation email that i sat the interview on dec. 5, got superday invite on dec. 15.
Finally get JPM first round invite: Here is mine:--ALL IBD ONLY CS: First round done JPM: First round invite GS HK: First round done GS BJ: First round in a few hours MS: Second round in NY done few weeks ago NOmura: SUper day invited BAML: pending DB: pending UBS: pending Citi:pending Barcap: did not even apply because its recruiting event in NY sucks Barcap NY: first round--through alumni
I assumed I will get all the other BB first round in HK. But those are all my second choice. I want GOLDMAN BEIJING the most!!
just beware, my gs beijing interviews were all in mandarin, even the technical parts. >.
lol forgot about nomura, heard they had some troubles.
Papagogo, why do you want GS Beijing? HK is more fun.
Beijing has the strongest dealflow, hong kong is more like a supporting role when working on China deals. And beijing is also a great city! And you get global pay with high bonus with lower cost of living so will live like an avatar !!!!
Papagogo - good one. Looks like you are doing well :P
To the rest of us - good luck :)
Does anyone know how interviews are given out for summer asia IBD. Are the interviews done separately by locations (example: are candidates applying Barcap HK IBD matched up against other HK IBD candidates or all Asia) or are all locations given out at once?
to algorhythm: thanks!
just wondering, do u guys know if they do target and non target school recruiting together for asia?
moose when did u do your interview? i just finished my second phone interview this morning (interviewer's skype wasnt working). im frm a uk school.. and judging by algorhythm's status, im assuming non targets are later than the target schools' campus recruitment? it makes sense... they will always be the first cut -_-
i finished my interviews yesterday (i go to a u.s. target) and they said we should know by early next week.
recruiting's so hazy for asia haha. no specific timeline for any of the firms.
is this barcap?
How are you guys doing on your interviews? I think I just got owned. LOL.
who did u interview for and for what div?
hahah sameee, there were a couple "hm... interesting" as answers from them.. lolol sadness, i feel like foreign interviewers are definitely more chillax than chinese ones.
ur right man. haha i got alot of that. LOL
Don't wanna reveal the bank on a public forum. but they are very respectable....oh well there goes my chance.
oh right. hmm. my interviewer told me that there should be a second round before the AC? so im really not sure. i guess we'll find out next week
Wait, just want to confirm--- Is Goldman Beijing Global Pay??? Thanks
I don't see why not. Why? Did something happen that made you doubt it?
What's AC?
AC = assessment centre, which is the UK equivalent of superday most banks have 1st rounds than final rounds, but some has another round in between.
anyway. i found the 1st rounds in Asia much more difficult than the UK ones. I almost got killed on a couple of occasions.
in terms of technicals? what kinda questions did they ask?
it was mainly about exotic options. However it's because of my previous experience in S+T so I wouldn't worry too much if I were you :)
I miss the first rounds with HRs in the UK....all competency questions !
No its not global pay lol - that's why I asked. You get local pay, high taxes, etc. You might live comfortably, but not like a king.
Did you ask the interviewer?
i'm from singapore, completed two phone interviews for a southeast asia c/f summer analyst position with a bb. one was with an analyst and the other with a director. analyst was both fit and technical while director was purely fit
@algorhythm yes barcap
I'm guessing no one's heard from Citi, DB, and UBS yet?
i dont think barcap does target/non-target, at least not for UK unis I'm from oxbridge and am still waiting for news after my first round... also the earliest Trading+Structuring AC for London interns last year was full of people from the UK 'semi-targets'/'non-target'
DB and UBS were quite late in holding first rounds (think early/mid Jan) last year as well so I'm assuming it would be the same this year
Thanks for the info. I wonder why they would have it so late, considering they are competing for the same people??
Anyone here who didn't apply to HK 1st choice but other asia divisions like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan???
a quick question: did GS already finish all first round interviews? anyone might know?
^ my interviewer said they're trying to finish all first round interviews this week.
anyone hear if BAML snt is out?
I'm curious to know as well. Also has anyone heard from UBS, Citi, or DB for ibd?
I dont think BAML is out. Anyway, I dont think they are even hiring...... Asian clients like ML but when it became BAML,, nobody likes it anymore.
i would put UBS above BAML, even in US!
I think in the US, UBS is definitely more competitive than BAML. Even with some of its recent missteps, I think it's still a more prestigious firm.
I did Barcap's S&T first round telephone interview early Dec with an HR from Singapore, and havn't heard back yet, probably get rejected...Do they inform those applicants they reject? BTW I'm from Europe. ....
So does this mean that second-round for MS is already over? Did anyone interview for MS GCM (global capital markets) second-round?
anyone heard back from final rounds yet? for cs, barcap, gs, and ms?
and gubaidulina, i'm not sure about gcm, but for ms ibd, they said they should have superday decisions this week, by christmas.
superday barcap is jan 3
is this for ibd? when'd you hear?
Still waiting from Barcap S&T after first round... We should expect an answer very soon...
just kidding i just found it from the earlier post.
this is for SNT as far as I know. im sure the ibd applicants come together too
Does anyone know what is the best way to know the deals each bank did recently? I will interview with JPM soon and I expect them to ask me deal questions...
Any input is welcomE!!!
algorhythm, did you receive a mail or a phone call for your AC invitation?
both
can anyone give me an update regarding barcap IBD so far? and which locations have they done interviews for just HK or all?
i check my phone like every hour waiting to hear back >.

GS IBD superday is out. 1/14 in NYC. I can't make it though. Email says to contact them if you can't make 1/14 and they'll arrange something. Does anyone know whether they have superdays in HK?
When was it out? Thx!!
they just have one day of superday? they must not be interviewing a lot of people...
any word about goldman SNT superday?
Goldman Sachs SNT superday invites are out for Singapore SA.
have you heard anything about hk?
still no one heard anything from citi, db, ubs or baml even regarding first rounds?
Think baml was out in mid dec. but haven't heard anything in regards to citi, db, or UBS
I had two first rounds with BAML a week ago.
goldman hk snt second round invites coming out this week
how do u know?
I emailed someone on their HR team. He said invitations were being sent out throughout this week, and he made it sound as if superday will be next weekend.
