What was it like?

Freshman now trying to get ready for S&T SA process next year. Was it a very technical interview?

  • Prospect in S&T - Equities

Depends on your resume. If they think there are elements that show you have technical knowledge they will ask you questions on it.
But no very intense questions just basic questions.

I am in the same boat.

Offers are out for IBD and S &T, I'm not actually sure what the process is I just know two of my mates got offers without spring weeks.

I believe process is job sim straight to AC but I may be mistaken

getting a 2nd round at MS is really great. Btw I think that this forum is the prove that Application Process is very tricky and the only way to get the role is by using the law of great numbers.

im talking as a student with already a summer intership at BB in my pocket and, yes, this year I got much more attention than previus ones, but still I cannot see why we should be rejected just because we dont pass situational tests (im not even complaning about numerical tests because these "quantitative" tests are aimed to test your mathematical knowledge; Im talking about situational tests where, for instance, you have to rank the answers: they are highly subjective and sometimes there is not event right/wrong answer, personally talking)

I think my situation is really funny. I applied very soon to every bank and rejected by all except from MS (1st got) but still reached the panel interview at Optiver . Like WTF is wrong with those people

I also applied to every bank almost on the day the application opened. Let's see what happens next. when did you have your 1st round MS?

4mo
tinus , what's your opinion? Comment below:

That is because Optiver has a different process. They only care about people who are quantitative enough. Their nunerical test is a better proxy for succeeding at Optiver than a bloody stupid SJT.

Any idea on how much time does it take after 2nd round to get AC at MS.

Hi, please can you tell me what test provider Deutsche Bank uses and maybe how the test is structured- Psychometric? or numerical?

Provider is SHL.
The tests will unlock one after other. The order is
SJT -> Behavioural / Numerical -> Numerical -> Video Interview

Goldman Sachs GMD SA 2023, they sent an email saying: "We are working through reviewing all video interviews. Due to the current environment and volatility of the markets, this is taking longer than expected and we aim to get back as soon as possible in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, if you have any exploding offers please do let us know. "

do you know if it's automatic to all 1st round interviewers or not).

Their S&T desk is tiny, last year they only took on 2 interns so it is worth having that in mind.
