Uni students, usually penultimate year.

You have to go through each bank's website. Or a university careers page.

You haven't been on a trading floor have you? Edit: PS: you'd better already have a job in a bank, because you sound like a squeezer.

You're advising someone doing their HSC to start trading derivatives with play money? What planet do you live on?

Too much risk for a financial institution to bother with this. a) who guarantees that your superannuation level will reach a given level in 45 years? b) even if a bank was willing to take that punt, their interest rate used in the discounted value would be so ridiculous as to make the whole...

I'd shy away from putting poker down. Too risky, and you're taking the chance of giving the interviewer another reason to ding you. As far as other things to focus on, sport - especially team sport - was probably the biggest thing that people picked up on during the interview process, followed...

They ran the UBS IB Competition at UWA last year. Have they pulled it?

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

I only work in the industry, what would I know?

Not even close.

Took the wrong turn out of the elevator?

None of the IBs offer cadetships. The best way to get in is still to do a summer internship.

Where did you apply? UWA, Murdoch, Edith Cowan, and Notre Dame all offer law courses, but I'm not sure which of them offer Grad programs. UWA is the hardest to get into, primarily because of the popularity of the degree and the relatively few places on offer. Murdoch would be the next hardest...

Merrill and Macquarie put out the best research. In my opinion of course. Anyone ever rung up the analyst that put out the report to have a chat about the stock? They were far nicer than I thought they'd be.

Re: internships 07 Wow, I didn't think anyone paid below 40k anymore.

Re: internships 07 Congratulations. Anyone on here who has followed the progress of your application will know how much this meant to you. It is fantastic to see someone from here achieve what they truly wanted to. Well done, and best of luck with the job.

Usually during pre-open brokers will start putting orders in the system. The orders aren't traded until the market opens, but the opening price is affected by the orders in the queue. The orders are executed in order of price and time. A higher bid will get priority over a lower bid...
