bump
think the timeline for apac would be next semester
Will the apps open in summer?
no idea. i’m also an applicant. from past experience i think it’s in junior fall
cs has opened applications
Is it fine to apply to MS and CS by July? I understand that the applications are rolling
They won't kick-off screening until then
When are they going to start screening?
Does Hong Kong discriminate based on citizenship? I attend a US target but I'm not a citizen there. Also are the interviews more technical (whereas US is mostly behavioral)?
No, most companies are willing to sponsor except maybe a few (heard that Moelis doesn’t) Technicals are definitely tested, and some banks will have case studies/group interviews
Also make sure you’re fluent in Mandarin if you’re not of East Asian background for IB, for S&T you might get by with only knowing English
I've interviewed with Moelis HK a while back and at least one of them was not from HK, while conducting my due diligence at their office I did see a couple mandarin names as well so its my guess is sponsoring isn't a problem?
HR does not discriminate based on citizenship.
Your interviewer is likely to choose someone who is native in Chinese (that means writing and speaking as good as someone growing up in mainland China and not HK) over anyone else.
Completed internship at a top BB in HK this past week and might be able to add some more color to this discussion. I go to a US target while most of my peers either went to local schools like HKU or semi-targets in the states. Not sure if that helped during the recruiting process (or off-set my less-than native reading/writing skills). I speak like a native mainlander due to my family background and can translate decently well from Mandarin to English, just not the other way around at a high level. For example, I could provide meeting notes during Mandarin DD calls, but could not efficiently translate English decks to Mandarin - this was definitely seen as a negative in my profile.
In my class, only 2 interns were Hongkies. I got close with an analyst towards the end and was told that Chinese ability is so important that certain kids with "elite" Mandarin language abilities were able to secure the return offer purely based on that front, despite severely lacking technical abilities. One intern could barely use MS Office but came from Qinghua/Beida and secured the offer - you get the idea. On the other hand, my personality and work quality was praised by enough people on the floor that they were able to look past the less-than native language level and give me the offer. From my experience, if your language ability is similar to mine, then you definitely need to work a bit harder by delivering work that is at a higher quality than a majority of your peers.
If anyone in this thread is considering HK IBD, feel free to DM me and I might be able to offer some advice from the perspective of someone who just completed an internship here.

Does anyone know why people seem to prefer HK over SG for their internship? Or are both locations equally, say, prestigious>
Much more headcounts in HK
agreed - am in sg
HK hires 3x more interns
And 80% population in HK are mainland Chinese while 80% in SG are Singaporean. Different demographics but there are probably way more mainland Chinese educated in US on WSO than Singaporeans.
Also, the SG analyst worked with me told me he slept in office for 4 weeks during his SA. While my SA in HK goes home at 3 or 4am even on a very busy day with only 1 all nighter during his internship. SG FT analysts at the more intense shops are having lifestyle of HK SAs
Can second this from coffee chats with seniors
possible to apply both in the U.S. and Hong Kong?
I mean, some banks have a limit in the number of apps you can submit - but for JPMC, CS, etc., idt they do;;
just got an hirevue invite for MS GCM for the sg office, would really appreciate if anyone has any insights to offer

Anybody gotten first round/hirevue from Credit Suisse? I did their online test and the results says all above average than than the general population, but haven't received anything for like a month.
Hi all, anyone done the GS GIR Hirevue?
Hey, sorry I can't help you with your question specifically but in the virtual information session they said hirevue will be conducted as the first round with around 5 questions, 30 seconds to prep and 2 to 3 minutes to answer. And I think second round will be in-person superday with three 30 minute interviews. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.
Btw when did you receive your hirevue? I applied two days after it opened to IB and haven't received the hirevue yet.
yeap same here
