The traineeship guy was saying UBS brand name not bad, worth the low salary for 1 year. But the guy was just saying dont go just for the brand name. Why so defensive sia |
Quote:
For someone who has no better prospects, a UBS traineeship beats a SME traineeship any day of the week. P.S. I myself am in a MA program in a foreign bank. |
Brand name obviously matters.
Harvard vs NUS GS/JPM vs DBS/OCBC FAANG vs IMDA MBB vs Tier 2 |

Nowadays, engineer working at self driving car can earn 500k to millions at Tesla/Google but it is called software engineer. Ah beng working at NTUC POS system is also called software engineer with 40k salary. |

Imagine you are applying to BB MO/BO. Will your chances of going to GS/JPM in a similar role be lower or higher if you are coming from DBS as compared to say UBS/CS/MS? |

I got a role in equities at JPM even though i did only a previous internship at UOB and another at big 4. So myopic |
Quote:
hard to believe that u broke into S&T FO w/o other significant accomplishments (e.g. stock pitch comps etc.) fellow jpmc here |
Quote:
Are you telling me that if JPM comes knocking you’d have chosen UOB/B4 internships over JPM? Don’t be ridiculous. Besides, even though Big 4 and UOB aren’t big brand names, they are STILL brand names. Do you honestly believe branding doesn’t matter and you’d still be able to break into equities @ JPM if your past experiences were from no-name boutiques? LMAO |

By ur definition of brand name every company that u know is alr considered as having a 'brand name' alr. The previous post stated that all the top firms will ofc prefer "brand names" like those im BB firms relative to local firms, but my point is that I was saying that it does not matter, as u see from my internships. Its about how u speak and sell urself. U can have such a good intern portfolio but u are **** at talking, u will def fail any assessment centre and let alone any BB interviews. So narrow minded |

Someone ur level cant understand. Throughout my interview with JPM all they asked were my skills and experiences as opposed to the firm i interned in |

Trying to relate back to the SUPER trainee topic here. Anyone who experienced in the 2020 asset management batch can advise whether works are all ad-hoc/data-entry? Interviewing with them soon. Thanks.
|
Hi, just checking on how long is the process from video interview to interview with the various to the offer? Roughly how long does it take?

i have turned down the offer.
BURN THE BOATS! nonetheless for those going in all the best! pls let us know how it really is inside. |
why did you turn down the offer?
|
Just wanted to hear from the 2020 batch, have you communicated your intent for conversion to your superiors/hr and what is the response like?
|

Plus u can read back. Many not so good things said |

Interviewed with 4 AM teams so far for the SUPER program.
Will be accepting the offer. Despite all the negativity going on around here, I am in for learning experience and not going in with the expectation of a conversion. Will be looking around for grad programs when applications open later this year. It really depends on the circumstances you're in. tbh I don't have prior AM experience nor am I from a local university. Having the brand name on my resume, potential to network with the managers, and putting one step into the industry is good for me. If your primary concern is salary/conversion then this program NOT for you. |
what were the interviews like? were there a lot of technical qns?
i don't have any am/banking/fi experience so not rly sure what to expect. thanks in advance! |
You already got the offer? I am still waiting for the HR to get back to me
|
Unfortunately, I also don't have any am/ banking/ fi experience, so I don't try it. I'm always afraid that I will lose sight of some necessary amounts and lose money due to my carelessness. I tried to create the financial model for your startup, but I don't understand this. So, I lost a lot of time and, as a result, got nothing. That's why I addressed for the help to sturppy waiting for the qualitative professional work. Luckily they met my expectations, and I got the desired project at the highest level

Some asked technical questions like "what do you think about the inflation fear", "what happened in the S&P500 last week", "how would you recommend a client to invest in today's context". Most questions were character fit questions related to values they look for. Be prepared for "run me through your resume" too |

Depends on the all mighty headcount. Some might be vague (then assume no) or some might upfront tell you there is none. Unless it’s a concrete yes, don’t believe. They can promise a lot but until you sign above the dotted line, nothing is fixed. |
Just got a call from HR, been verbally given the offer to join the AM division, anyone else heard back?
|
Same here. Got the verbal confirmation
