Editing doesn't work on desktop and the formatting gets reset on mobile so tedious to update, so I will batch updates every few days.

Since when did JPM require a second language for their IBD summer in London?? 

Ridiculous considering it's the LDN office and none of their spring interns needed a second language

 

Does anyone know how many EMEA locations can you apply to for Blackstone?

 

I emailed Fidelity a couple of weeks ago about 2022 summer internships (EMEA) and was told applications will open mid-September until mid-November (was also told they dont operate on a FCFS basis).

 

how to apply to GS MBD for SA? is it under Asset Management or do they no longer recruit for SA?

 

Hi there, would appreciate if anyone knows if you need to submit a different Cover Letter for applying to different divisions within Morgan Stanley. For instance, if you wanted to apply to Investment Management and Global Markets - would you need to submit 2 separate Cover Letters or is it like Goldman's application please?

Thank you!

 

Who is the pymetrics test provider? Also I can't find the link for BX - does anyone know where to find this?? Thanks

 

Does anyone know if any London BB/EB strictly enforces the penultimate year rule for SA positions?

One-year masters student here and wondering if I can apply for SA

 

Am I allowed to apply for more than 3 positions per year in JPM? I've already applied to 3 but the site did not block me when starting my application for another position (even though they state that the cap is 3). Has anyone already applied for more than 3?

 

Not sure if it's due to the lack of internship? We are only penultimate students and I don't think we are expected to have lots of internships on our CV. Maybe you lacked work or extracurricular experience or they didn't like your cover letter?

 

MS reject lots of candidates at first round and bring very few through to phone interview. One of the most difficult banks to get a first round for.

 

How well do you have to do in MS online tests to get a phone interview? I got 'well above requirements' in SJT and Inductive Reasoning, but only 'above requirements' for Numerical and wondering if that means an automatic ding.

 

I got well above the requirements in the Inductive and Numerical, and very well alligned with the business unit in the SJT and got dinged. I have solid experience as well so no idea about what the criteria is

 

Is Evercore open?? It says it is not on the website but some people have said they have already applied?

 

Is it even worth applying to MS IBD now? Was mainly focusing on S&T which opened today but thought I will also send app for IBD considering you can send 3 MS apps

 

I would say so considering there is no formal application process. I applied a couple of weeks ago and didn't hear anything back (same for CVP). That's just me though lol
