Feel free to make any suggestions to make this survey better
Let me clean it up a bit for you (I'm really interested in this thread too).
Copy and paste below:
Education level: (ie: 3rd year undergrad) Target/Non-target: GPA level: (strong, good, medium, low) Major: (relevent or not relevant) Prior related internship experience: (yes or no) Level of Networking: (high vs medium vs low OR # of people reached out to + # of people with correspondence) Type of job applied to: (ST, IB, PE, etc.) (SA or FT)
of BB applications/1st round interviews/offers:
of Botique applications/1st round interviews/offers:
By the way, you applied to each BB firm 2.2 times on average? That seems like a lot - I'm planning on doing just one app per firm. Is that not normal? Also, the 9 BB banks according to Thomas Reuters are: 1. Barclays Capital 2. Bank of America Merrill Lynch 3. Citigroup 4. Credit Suisse 5. Deutsche Bank 6. Goldman Sachs 7. JPMorgan Chase 8. Morgan Stanley 9. UBS
Im gonna go out on a limb here and say SocGen
I also consider RBS a BB, and yea some banks that just require a resume for each group rather than a resume and cover letter I just sent in an application. If you consider DCM, ECM, FI ST, E ST there's a lot of apps I can be sending out lol
Well this was kind of a fail...
i still hav hope i think this would be very interesting/helpful
SB to someone who does it?
Wow, no one's willing to fill out this silly form even for a silver banana:
Education level: (ie: 3rd year undergrad) Target/Non-target: GPA level: (strong, good, medium, low) Major: (relevent or not relevant) Prior related internship experience: (yes or no) Level of Networking: (high vs medium vs low OR # of people reached out to + # of people with correspondence) Type of job applied to: (ST, IB, PE, etc.) (SA or FT)
