Landing Summer Analyst offer in Aus
Hi All, just seeking any advice regarding landing a SA offer in Sydney/Melbourne in 2021-2022. Unsure if I am overestimating the difficulty in landing the first round interview. Any answers would be much appreciated!
I can answer some of these.
6.5/7 is definitely considered good enough. 99+ definitely carries some weight, I'd say as long as you got 95+ it doesn't really matter too much.
Banks definitely don't shy away from interstate applications, UQ recently has really been outperforming USYD/UMELB/UNSW in some of the SA programs (Citi, for example).
I'd say those 2 internships are definitely enough to be competitive, as long as you can sell them well in an interview.
FMAA/UNIT exec positions are always nice ECs to have on your resume, aside from that just don't be a robot and be a good bloke.
Echoing the comment above, you will be fine. Have seen guys get in with low 80's / high 70's. UQ also placing very well in IB these days.
2) From a target uni (G8)? Definitely good enough WAM
4) Yes
6) Outside of finc societies, things like state/national level sport are great talking points especially if you can speak to the link between your drives/motivations/work ethic
Thanks everyone - does anyone know if applying for both Syd and Melb is a bad look? Heard from a few others that it may look desperate
Not necessarily a bad look, but from memory Melbourne applications for BB were due two weeks before Sydney which is something to consider. In a few occasions during interviews, they asked me why I wanted to move to Sydney versus Melbourne and vice versa.
For banking IMO, I think Sydney is the place to be. More coverage groups and bigger teams and more deal flow, even though people from Melbs tend to get staffed on Syd deals at times. Don’t get me wrong, I love Melb, but I think Syd is better for career prospects.
Hi,
Asking a question for the comments who’ve said that there are strong prospects from UQ. Are these people who have done the BAFE (Bachelor of advance finance and economics) or the BComm/Law at UQ. The BAFE is 3 years compared to 5 year BComm/Law. Thanks
Both but BAFE held in very high regard so long as grades > 6.5
