[Tired]

How have people's applications been going? Who have you applied for? Progressed yet?

Me:
- All the major banks
- JP Morgan
- Big 4 + a few other accounting firms

So far I have progressed through most of the banks to the online tests, which are really hard lol....

If anyone wants any advice - I've been through the IB grad recruitment processes - shoot me a PM.

 

[MaNiElla]

What type of questions did you guys get in the test?

What type of questions did you guys get in the test?

Well there are 2 types of tests:
Numerical & *something else!!*(the name escapes me!)

The numerical one is very challenging, and I doubt we are expected to finish it without guessing a few, and basically consists of graphs/tables and questions associated with interpreting the figures.

The other one is a more logical/general type of test where they provide statements (a paragraph or 2) and ask you whether certain statements are true/false/cannot say based on the information provided. I found this to be the easier of the two.

huh jealous. I'd like to work in SGP too.

If i dont get an offer here with Macq bank ('09), then SGP is my only option but i dont want to apply through the program..I assume there will be recruitment agencies?

 

[stazi]

are you singaporean? you could apply through recruitment agencies, but know that the starting salary for Singaporean locals is ridiculously crap. I think the big-4 starting salary is like S$2,000/month.
