+1 I would guess that it is advantegous. Im also native in Norwegian and conversational in Swedish. You will probably be placed in a nordics coverage team where most people will speak a scandinavian language. tl200
+1 1) good ergonomic chair (doesn’t have to be Herman Miller) but aim for ~£300 at least2) standing desk. Even if not often standing, allows to set the perfect height for optimal posture Intern in IB - Cov
+1 How are you making 20% on the senior credit? The only way I can think to do that is through a CLO (but even then that return seems too high). Or maybe you simply work for a bank that’s inherently highly levered? Partner in RE - Comm

+1 Anyone know if interviews / superdays went out for investments portfolio management? financelu
+1 It’s too bad that’s how it went down for you. I had a similar experience except in my case, the CEO came over and shit his pants in solidarity. Showed me what true leadership is. Anyways, good luck! Buzz Lightbeer

+1 Given you have non STEM background, I think yiu won't get the Algo/Vol trading seats. Associate 1 in S&T - FI
+1 I would say nothing special really other than in the interviews technical knowledge, commercial awareness and probability/stats/logic is extremely important. randomrandom1234

+1 Yeah, the transition seems to be working out for a few people I know. One now handles marine and off-grid solar financing and says demand for quality boat solar is rising quickly. janicebell
