This is how many graduates various different banks inform us they’re hiring for 2012/2013
Unfortunately, our information isn’t infallible. Nor is it necessarily entirely comparable, but we’ll let you know what we’ve been told. As part of our 2013-2013 Careers in Financial Markets Guide (unfortunately we only have the 2012 edition online for the moment), banks were asked to inform us how many graduate hires they plan to make […]

Are you a university student who wants to work in an investment bank, starting in 2013? Whether you’re applying for a summer internship or a graduate position, now is the time to be sending in your application.

GUEST COMMENT: Things you should include on your CV if you’re applying for a graduate sales role in an investment bank
We’ve already covered how to assemble a CV that will get you a job in trading, but what if you want to get a job in an investment banking sales team? What should a sales CV look? Is there any real difference between a sales CV and a trading CV? No. Not much. When you […]
What does it take to get hired at JPMorgan? Meet this year’s analyst class in London
As a follow-up to yesterday’s look at the analyst class at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, today we bring you a sample of this year’s hires at JPMorgan. There are a few things to note. Firstly, they are almost all very international – JPMorgan doesn’t seem to be looking for parochial hires from British university. […]
What does it take to get hired at Bank of America Merrill Lynch? Meet the new analyst class at Bank of America Merrill Lynch
Do you want to join Bank of America Merrill Lynch when you leave university? Are you wondering what it takes to get hired there? If so, you may be interested in who it’s hired this year into its analyst (graduate trainee) and associate (MBA trainee) programmes. Based on a detailed examination of the FSA register, […]
The end of 2 year contracts at Goldman Sachs is another sign that new recruits will work harder than ever
It’s all over. Until now, graduates who joined Goldman Sachs’ analyst programme did so on a fixed term two year contract. In 2013, says the Wall Street Journal, they won’t. Next year, anyone joining Goldman’s investment banking and investment management divisions will join on a standard, open-ended contract – although two year contracts will be […]
GUEST COMMENT: Investment banks are obsessed with hiring graduates with exciting extra-curricular interests. This is what to do about that
Seriously, what does the fact that I competed in the Oxbridge boat race, debated Bill Clinton’s misdemeanours, or edited the university newspaper have to do with my ability to be an accurate and skilled trader or an astute corporate dealmaker? When I was applying for graduate trainee positions, I can remember feeling frustrated and angry […]
Applications are now open for the Treasury’s graduate programme – which can be an excellent springboard into a career in investment banking
As we noted last week, things aren’t great in the world of investment banking graduate recruitment. Several investment banks seem to have filled all their front office graduate positions for 2013 already. Competition for positions at those which haven’t is going to be extra-intense. Bearing this in mind, you may want to consider a more […]
Damn: these are all the banks which appear to have ALREADY FILLED all their front office graduate places in London for 2013
If you want to work in investment banking when you graduate, you probably envisage yourself as an M&A banker. Or maybe a trader. Or maybe a little something in sales. BAD LUCK. If you didn’t intern in an investment bank last summer, you may have a problem achieving a sexy sort of job in an […]
SECRET DIARY OF A MARKETS INTERN: The internship is over. I have found out whether my strategy for getting a graduate offer worked
Unbelievably, the internship is over. It’s a strange feeling. Despite feeling like I have worked here for years, it also seems to have gone very quickly. I started the week knowing a decision had already been made. I’d finished my work and there wasn’t really anything more I could do. I maintained my daily tasks […]
