HK IBD SA 2011 Thread

Are all these due dates in November?

Also, since they don't have OCR for Asia pacific offices, is the only way to interview by filling out apps online?

Also, just to note for other applications, there is only ONE test for HSBC hk. I haven't submitted all of my applications yet, so I'm going to wait and see before posting further. Also, would it be worth it to add CICC to the list? Their application is online as well.

You're at school in HK? Interesting. Where did you intern last summer?

were you rejected from BAML because of the online test?

Hey Guys,

For JPM, in the job listing there are jobs which say HongKong/US/UK/Singapore Bachelors.. DOes it mean students from the US can apply apply to those which says US bachelors?

@wsib1

yes, i believe that's the case

is it essential to apply as early as possible for banks which says rolling basis?

I really don have time to apply now for those with due dates on 12/31 until winter break.. if i apply right before deadline am i totally screwed?

how good are you guys all in Chinese (writing & speaking)? is it strictly required? I know it says its recommended..

^

Nowadays, oral fluency is essentially a must, and reading is prolly more important than writing. You won't be drafting memos in Chinese - however, you will need to proofread what the translation team gives you, and you will need to be able to read reports, 10ks. in Chinese.

if BBs don't do OCR at your school (in the U.S.) for HK positions, do you just have to apply online?

do they read online apps, or is it a blackhole just like applying online in the U.S.? Any insight would be appreciated; i'm fluent in Chinese and definitely interested in HK, but am not really sure how to apply.

how do they usually contact you for interviews? phone or email?

does anyone know the exact deadline for DB HK?

haha. got my CS rejection letter about a week ago. so if u havent heard anything yet, keep ur finger crossed.

^

Apply online, it helps if you're from a target, but with that said, with the right background you'll still get an interview.

You get emailed if you're selected for interview.

@hkstudent

sorry about the rejection. anyone else hearing any news? it looks like most of the deadlines are passing in just a few days. i've got almost everything in, but haven't heard about interviews yet.

Anyone heard anything else other than CS IBD?

I am undergoing first round CS IBD.

Heard some ppl got UBS already. Anyone else got?

heard some got phone interview for ms sa. but so far i've nothing: no rejections no invites applied to ms, gs, cs, db, ubs, baml

is db hk still open?

I think deadline is really soon. 10 DEC?

^how do you know? the site doesnt say the exact date.

i'm pretty sure db is 12/1

I got an official email from DB one week ago saying the deadline was 12/5

I think DB deadline is over, expect emails next week.

JPM has already given email. I have not received mine yet.. Still hoping to get.

CITI is starting to send out invitations for first round.

yeah mine (the one that said 12/5 for the deadline) was for US-based applicants. in either case, i'd get the application in ASAP if you haven't submitted

im us based, so i guess i missed it, im just too last minute

for rbs, it says 12/31 is that for everyone or is there an earlier deadline for us based?

Analyst Training Program applications close for students studying at schools in Hong Kong, Mainland China, US, Canada and the UK -december

i saw this on db site.. if deadline for hk is 12/31, does it mean that for us students is also 12/31?

not to be a dick, but i think you're wasting your time trying to figure out when the deadline is--it really can't hurt to just submit the application now. plus, as i understand it, the earlier you submit the better anyways. an application submitted 5 minutes before the deadline is going to look worse than one submitted 5 days before the deadline. just something to think about.

i know, but this week is my finals week, and it doesn't take 5 minutes to submit a good appl

one my friend already has his JPM SA interview for Singapore.

anyone else knows JPM SA for HK?

the only thing reading this thread did to me was building up my nerves lol.

i didnt get UBS cuz i failed the test lol, and didnt get macquire either.

still waiting on all the other banks. hopefully can get a few interviews.

gl with everyone else who is waiting and those who got first founds!

Have UBS sent out invites for first rounds?

ic thanks, CS second rounds are coming up

anyone heard from Citi yet?

Got MS HK 1st round a few days ago, and just got GS Seoul 1st round today.

Rejected by Macquarie and HSBC a few weeks ago. No news from other banks so far...

Is UBS still sending out 1st round invitations, or is it over? ;(

GS Soul interviews? They didn't even look at my application, yet. ^^

Does anyone else have problem seeing his submitted Nomura app?

This thread is more nerve wracking than anything else, as I have yet to hear back from anywhere.

Applied to:

GS JPM MS UBS DB BarCap

Good luck everyone!

I am waiting for MS...

Waiting back on most places too, but:

DB - Took assessment about 2 week ago Citi - pending Nomura - pending BAML - Took assessment about 2 week ago UBS - Took assessment about 2 week ago HSBC - Didn't apply GS - pending MS - pending Barcap - Didn't apply CS - Didn't apply Macquarie - First round, took assessment in NYC office about a week ago JPM - pending RBS - Didn't apply

--> Rosemary,

r u from target too?

Holy trinity?

Hows the first round offers like? On a rolling basis or what?

If we don't get first rounds now, are we done?

DB - I should not have written that I want the German summer internship to get to Hong Kong next year... Nomura - cant access the page BAML - pending (research) UBS - failed test HSBC - pending GS - London IBD (Pending) , HK, Shangai, NYC not under review

just found a rejection letter sent 10 days ago from macquarie... how do they select resumes? seems very random ppl got interviews...

Do you guys actually answer all questions during the numeracy tests?

How do you know if you failed the UBS test?

They reject you 5 minutes later. :)

i never finished the numerical tests.. as long as you get 80% correct you should be fine

wow that's fast.

5 minutes rejection.

Still waiting for

Citi, MS, GS, JPM, BAML, UBS, Barcap, nomura ...

I heard some already got UBS, CITI and JPM firrst rounds.....

Check your DB tracker,

does it say interview process already?

For DB, this is what mine says:

Track Application

This page shows the progress of your application.

Interview Process

Test

You have successfully completed our online test. Your results have been submitted for review and you will be contacted shortly.

Does this mean I should get notified for an interview pretty soon? Also, do some of the banks that have already started giving out first rounds (UBS, JPM, etc.) not send out rejection letters? Thanks and good luck everybody

I've got the same, so I guess they are reviewing our resumes...

How many ppl applied man? Why are they taking so long to review.

when is deadline for barcap? the website says it's 12/31, but my friend got an email from them saying 12/15

btw, has anybody else had trouble viewing the status of their MS applications? I have the confirmation emails but when I go back to the site and log in, it doesn't even give me a record of submitting the applications. The only thing I can view is the job cart (which is empty).

hey daniel, I have that to. So don't worry, guess its like tat.

anyone received CITI or UBS yet?

1st round for gs

u got firstound gs?

gs already sent out some first round interview invitations.

I just got BAML first rounds. waiting for CITI, MS, GS, JPM.

Waiting for second round CS

first round baml

Just to double-check: this is all for the investment banking divisions, right? And different divisions are usually on slightly different schedules so it's not necessarily the case that the S&T division would send out first-round invites at the same time as IB?

i heard back from S&T

Just heard back from J.P. Morgan S&T!

i can confirm JPM S&T!

yeah, gs is out

Thank you for taking the time to complete the online tests. Your application is under review and we will let you know the status of your application shortly.

this is for barcap. Does it mean I passed the cut-off for the test?

does GS send everything out at once? I applied to positions in HK and singapore and both are still "under review"

mine still says under app received. so

is baml all out?

for barcap, the deadline is 15th dec for target students for jpm, i also got invited to the same s&t interview! guess not every firm is sending out all invitations at the same time

just got baml global markets a couple hours ago so i guess they're still sending them out :)

i just received GS and MS. IBD SA

i just received GS and MS. IBD SA

do they call or do they email you guys? if my phone doesn't work, will they email?

they email you

Is it too late to apply to BarCap HK IBD?
