Hi jkmbe, this year we have 7 Chinese students. But in previous years there were about 10-14 Chinese students. Most of us used to work in commercial banks, or accounting/securities companies (e.g. Bank of China, local securities companies, PWC and HSBC). Probably there are 1 or 2 entrepreneurs, but very few engineers. However, I heard some engineers were very competitative in job hunting if they can prove that they have very strong quantatitive skills. Students from other countries used to work in investment banks, commercial banks, big 4 or consulting firms (e.g.Citigroup, JPmorgan, PWC, Bain and Accenture).
Could you share your experience in the milkround? Did you interview with any I banks? How about other Chinese students? Any offers yet? What are the most difficult part of interview? Thanks for sharing.
Hi oakhut, normally very few MIF students got offer from milkround. The main reason is that we are here only for 1-2 months and we really neither know finance nor understand european market/interview skills, needless to mention we don't know what's our career destination (e.g. Investment banking? or fixed income, research, private equity,assets management, consulting, industry etc).
Thank you so much for your great info. A few more questions. First, how do you apply in the milkround, through company websites or LBS career office? Second, do you think these companies are looking for personal straits, transferable analytical skills, communication skills or they pay more attention to more specific industry knowledge, such as the European market as you mentioned in the above reply? Third, did you attend any interviews? If so, how was your experience? Fourth, do you think CFA is very important or just helpful for LBS graduates. Some people say that CFA is good for research and asset management and graduates from top school don't really need CFA. Fifth, how do you know about the career placement of Chinese students last year? Do you talk to them? Any insights can be shared? Again, many thanks for your great insider info.
hi oakhut, i guess i need to write more than 1 page to answer all the questions. Any way, that's not what you should be interested before coming to school.
I should have been your classmate, but deferred my admission. I am currently working in the US and weighing on several options. Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing your experience.
hi oakhut, if you are still interested, we can discuss offline. My concern is that some of my (or other Chinese students) experience is very personal and I don't want to post here.
Thanks a lot. Please let me know your contact via email fusheps[在] yahoo.com. I can either call you or chat online with you (I use MSN Messager). Look forward to speaking with you soon. Thanks!
