谢谢你提供的经验，但是读新闻应该读什么样的新闻呢？

depends on which department you are targeting at.

IB >>
1. need to have general sense of where market goes, macro policy, etc. (Macro is always a good starting point to talk about, and also can help you to lead the topic to the ones that you're interested in)
2. also need to prepare some specific news about particular industry or company

You don't need to know everything, but I'd suggest to focus on some particular area that you are interested in. The idea is always to have something that you can talk about confidently. Because the interview is always timed, nobody will ask you about everything within the short timeframe. But if you can talk about something indepth, it makes people feel you really follow the market and knows your stuff well, even though what you know is only a small piece.

Market needs to follow from beginning. I'd suggest you take some notes about interesting deals everyday.
(Not necessarily a lot, but 1-2 deals everyday so that by the time you go to interview, you'd have a lot of deals to talk about)
And save the news somewhere so that you can always go back and revisit before interview.
1-2 days before the interview, check your notes (there must be some repetitive topics or some hot themes over time) and pick about something mainstream and something that you are most comfortable talking about.

Technical questions can be prepared 1-2 weeks before the interview (you'll forget anyway if prepare it too early...), depending on your existing technical knowledge. i.e. if you studied finance in uni or if you have no finance background. (If no finance knowldge at all before, then maybe extend to cover this bit 3 weeks before interview)

In short, market part and technical part is something you can prepare and take control by yourself.

Behaviour questions is something that is highly flexible, but also the part that differentiate you from other candidates. Given the flexibility, it would require significantly more time to prepare.
Assuming the same educational background (target school), everyone follows market and can talk about deals to some extent, everyone knows the basic technical stuff.
Then the behaviour question part becomes the differentiant factor to help the interviewer to form a view about you as a person. So the interview can ask any questions to try to find out your competency and to identify who you really are, how you are likely to behave in a working environment, etc.
The behaviour question guide can provide a good sense of what's likely to be asked and also provide a good guidance of how to structure your answer. The bottom line is to preapre at least 2 examples for each questions in the list.
Sometimes, the questions maybe asked in a different way that is completedly unexpected, but still can be asnwered using the same example. Thtat's why you need to really know your stuff well and spend time to practice, practice, practice. Also the point of practice is to make you a natural presenter, so it doesn't look like you have spent too much time "prepareing" it.

不晓得楼主还在不在，真的很感谢之前的分享。我本人大二，金融系，在下个学期会去英国进行为期一个学期的交换学习。一直有师兄师姐建议我能够在那里找到一个intern来做，或者是通过一些方式来找一个寒假的实习，我本人对此表示很怀疑，不晓得这是否现实。以及如果这样的话，我是不是需要签T4的签证，是不是觉得有些不值得呢。

楼主，我的基本情况：我在国内读的一个不算top的财经类一本，专业是English+International Accounting，有一定的数学和经济学基础。在清华工作三年，清华的工作与Finance完全无关，主要在做一个国际性的论坛。今年刚考上人大MBA，人大有第二年出国交流的项目，其中还有读完可去YALE攻读MASTER的机会。
目标：进入投行
途径：只要能进投行，各种基础都可以学习（目前可能会参加的就是一个全球案例大赛，但是还在酝酿组队过程当中）
其实，我主要还是想问楼主，我的情况应该如何着手呢？国内目前我身边朋友圈几乎没有IB的人~倒是有认识的猎头还能给点信息，但是我的0经验决定了我现在必须做实际的事情来增加我的experience
谢谢楼主

LZ简直业界良心，超级佩服！

请问LZ是不是在Citi 啊？我正在Citi London Office 实习，CGC 2 Floor 11（non-FO though，在靠近电梯这边），前两天在restaurant碰到一帮IT部门的中国人哈哈。不知道LZ最近忙不忙，也许什么时候可以一起喝杯咖啡？

我的SOEID是xh23140. Please feel free to shoot me an email anytime!

----------我不是楼主，只是路人-------------------------

我不太了解投行winter,但来这边直接申投行Summer是没有问题的，我知道有去LSE交换的中国学生拿到某大行S&T summer internship的。当然不排除各个行之间有区别的可能性。

T4签证我不太了解，但我本人就不是在英国读书，工作签证（summer)也是银行帮着办的，我现在拿的是T5签。而且大行还会报一定数额的机票钱，如果你不是在英国读书的话。放心申吧！

Happy2014

想问一下楼主,在伦敦，哪些学校 (MBA & MSF) 是IB的target school? 如果我以前不是做finance的, 是应该读MBA还是MSF呢？

另外谢谢楼主的分享，受益匪浅！

楼主请教问题~~我现在在伦敦读金融phd，做HFT，现在在一家小公司做Algo Trading，对于走Trading这条路楼主有什么指向么？

uuccuucc

楼主请再现身，非常感谢工作之余的经验分享！
我的情况：
荷兰本科会计金融专业，14-15 LSE AF 研
实习一是国内欧企财务，二是现在阿姆斯特丹ABN AMRO ibd
请问：1.申请伦敦IBD FT 机会大不大？
           2.申请FT和SI准备的重点有什么不同吗？
           3.到伦敦要9月底，要不要8-9月开始网申？
